Every time fronting occurs within the predicate phrase,<br />

the same type of rise and sharp drop of intonation, from the<br />

fronted material to the constituent behind it, occurs<br />

although the word order of the sentence is subject-<br />

predicate. However, the intonation peak on the fronted<br />

material is a little bit lower than that on the subject.<br />

44. Di gopijyan boh mamgj.-a'm" geu-pajoh.<br />

SFC he, fruit mango 3r-eat<br />

'It is a mango that he is eating.'<br />

There is an exception to this rule. Most time adverbs<br />

can move freely from the end of the sentence to the<br />

beginning without causing any change in intonation.<br />

45. Baroe, aneuk^JaiSji-klik siuroe seupot.<br />

Yesterday child that 3y-cry one-day afternoon<br />

' Yesterday the child cried all day long.'<br />

3.2.5 Intonation in Yes/No Questions<br />

Yes/no question intonation begins in the same way as<br />

the intonation in declarative sentences but ends with a<br />

rising voice. Another difference is that when the voice<br />

rises at the stress position, it rises to the height of<br />

primary peak and continues at that height until it rises<br />

again at the end of the sentence.
