ENGLISH INTONATION CRUCIAL FOR UNDERSTANDIND
ENGLISH INTONATION
Intonation is crucial for communication. It's also a largely unconscious mechanism, and as such, a complex aspect of pronunciation.
What is intonation?
Intonation is about how we say things, rather than what we say.
Without intonation, it's impossible to understand the expressions and thoughts that go with words.
Listen to somebody speaking without paying attention to the words: the 'melody' you hear is the intonation. It has the following features:
Intonation serves to let the listener know :
1. whether you have finished a sentence or not.
2. Whether you are making a statement or asking a question.
3. It conveys information about attitude. Is he trying to be friendly, or helpful, or are you being cold and hostile?

RITMO DEL IDIOMA INGLÉS
Los estudiantes extranjeros de inglés usan sólo formas fuertes, pero los hablantes de inglés usan formas generalmente débiles. Es por eso que los extranjeros no entienden ni se les entienden.

El ritmo inglés está determinado por el estrés de la oración. Las palabras léxicas o de contenido son las que llevan se destacan (sustantivos, verbos, adjetivos y adverbios), mientras que las palabras gramaticales (pronombres, artículos, auxiliares, preposiciones y conjunciones) generalmente se pronuncian rápida y negligentemente, excepto por énfasis.
El uso de formas débiles y fuertes determina el ritmo. Los extranjeros deben tener en cuenta que la schwa [ə] es el sonido vocálico más común en inglés. La mayoría de las vocales no acentuadas se convierten en schwa.

...y ahora la letra
A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son
And where have you been, my darling young one
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son
And what did you see, my darling young one
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin'
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
I heard the sound of a thunder that roared out a warnin'
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin'
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin'
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
Oh, what did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
I met a young child beside a dead pony
I met a white man who walked a black dog
I met a young woman whose body was burning
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
I met one man who was wounded in love
I met another man who was wounded with hatred
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
And what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
And what'll you do now, my darling young one?
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin'
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
And the executioner's face is always well hidden
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
Where black is the color, where none is the number
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin'
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
