Your first impression is the initial impact you make on another person/ In this regard, it covers the areas of dress, voice, grooming, handshake, eye contact, and body posture. The way you choose to manipulate each of these various factors has a profound effect on how people will perceive you initially. 5,,.,....., 2006 Merkulova Yelena M. English For University Students.

41 : 11/ Stylistic Use of Intonation. Declamatory Style The term declamatory serves for many kinds of linguistic activity. There are at least two varieties of oral representation of written literary texts, namely: a) Reading aloud a piece of descriptive prose (the author s speech) b) The author s reproduction of actual conversation (the speech of the characters) The intonation of reading descriptive prose is as follows: The Low Pre-Head + the Stepping Head / broken Stepping Head / heterogeneous Head / descending sequence of syllables interrupted by several falls + the Low Fall /the High Fall (final intonation group) or the Low Fall / the High Fall / the Fall-Rise (non-final intonation group). Speed of utterance is slow. Pauses may be different in length but long pauses are more common. Internal boundaries are related to semantic or syntactic categories. The following oral text may serve as examples of reading descriptive prose: The door of the dining-room was OPEN, the gas turned LOW; a SPIRIT-urn hissed on a TEA-tray, and CLOSE to it a cynical-looking CAT had fallen A SLEEP on the DINING-table. (J. Galsworthy. The Forsyte Saga ) When reading aloud a dialogic text, representing the speech of the characters in drama, novel or story, it should be borne in mind that it is different in the matter of intonation from a descriptive text, representing the author s speech (monologue). It is not a pure reproduction of the intonation that might be heard in the natural speech of living people. The intonation is always stylized: only the most striking elements that might be heard in actual conversation are made use of. 41

42 : 11/ As far as the intonation patterns are concerned, it should be noted that the Low /High Pre-Head may be combined with any variety of descending, ascending or level heads. In the terminal tone both simple and compound tunes are widely used. The pitch-level is generally high and the range is wide. Speed of the utterance is normal or reduced as compared with natural speech. Rhythm is more even and regular. Pauses are exclusively either connecting or disjunctive, thereby internal boundaries placement is always semantically or syntactically predictable. We should take into account the author s suggestion as to how the text should be read (remarks) and consider the character s social and educational background, the kind of relationships as well as the extra-linguistic context at large. This is an example of reading aloud a dialogic literary text: Let s have some TEA, said Emma. LOOK. This has to be taken SERIOUSLY, said Louis. I don t think people know HOW to take things SERIOUSLY any more. The world is a great big JOKE; they want a LAUGH, a bit of A MUSEMENT, and not to WORRY about anything. Bit YOU aren t like that. How do you KNOW? asked Emma. The following exercises are meant to develop student s ability: 5. to hear and reproduce the kind of intonation used in reading aloud a piece of descriptive prose; 6. to hear and reproduce the kind of intonation used in reading aloud dialogic literary texts; 7. to hear and reproduce the kind of intonation used in verse-speaking. 42

43 : 11/ Exercise 1.Listen to the following text carefully, sentence by sentence. Pay attention to the way intonation enlivens the written text and thus makes its oral representation expressive. Exercise 2.Mark internal boundaries (pausation). Underline the communicative centre and the nuclear word of each intonation group. Mark the stresses and tunes. Make a careful note of your errors and work to avoid them. Exercise 3.Practice reading each sentence of your corrected variant after the tape recorder. Exercise 4.Record your reading. Play the recording back for the teacher and fellowstudents to detect your errors and decide if your reading is expressive enough to be easily understood. Exercise 5.Identify and make as full list as possible of declamatory style peculiarities as they are displayed in the text. 1.
