Compare also the intonation of the following sentences.
(3) has a subject-predicate word order, whereas (4) a
predicate-subject word order.
3. Gopn^an\ka lheueh geu-jep kupi.
He/sher PERF finish 3r-drink coffee
'He/she has drunk some coffee.'
4. Ka lheueh geu-jep ky£i gopnyan.
PERF finish 3r-drink coffee hesher
' He/she has drunk some coffee.'
Halim's (1969) study of Indonesian intonation shows
similar change of intonation when the word order is changed.
His study is supported by instrumental evidence. He
distinguishes three pitch levels: 1 for low, 2 for mid or
neutral, and 3 for high. In addition, he uses subscripts:
[r], which means rising, and [f] for falling, and symbols
[/] for non-final pause, and [#] for final pause. These
figures and symbols are used to marked intonation. He notes
the change of intonation from 233r/231f into 232f/211 when
"retraction" applies to a sentence. (Retraction is defined
as a process by means of which a segment of the sentence is
brought away from the focus.) This is shown by the
following two examples from his dissertation (p. 137),
copied here as (5) and (6). (6) is the outcome of retraction
applied to (5).
