Abstract:
The purpose of this work is the identification and systematization of
prosodic means of positive-evaluative utterances in English speech by the way of
their realization in the English movie. The established objective implies to solve the following tasks:
- to define the key terms, establish a theoretical framework,
- to analyze the intonation patterns in selected film fragments,
- to identify the characteristics of positive-evaluative utterances;
- to compare and contrast the intonation patterns and characteristics of
positive-evaluative utterances in different film fragments to identify any
commonalities or differences,
- to discuss the potential implications of the identified intonation patterns
and characteristics for effective communication, such as their relevance
in different social contexts or the impact they may have on listener
perception of the speaker’s emotions.
