I. Introduction
Nowadays, with the popularity of the economic globalization, English has become the official language all over the world. People use English to communicate and make business. Intonation is important for who is speaking, for who will take the next turn, for how the act is to be understood, for how the speaker will be evaluated. If we want to learn English well, intonation is a big project we need to solve. However, because the different areas have different dialects, therefore, the efficiency of using English is not ideal, especially in developing countries. Besides, the most important problem when we speak and use English is intonation, which we can not fully understand and use correctly. During the process of English communication, different speakers may employ different intonation to express their thoughts, attitudes and feelings, etc. Intonation not only conveys messages, but also strengthens the influence of the discourse, so it is of great importance to master the functions of intonation. 浅析英语语调在口语交际中的功能:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_35647.html
