Differences in Voice and Tone in Speech

The article describes the semantic, communicative and pragmatic activities of prosody in the text. The theoretical foundations of the study of voice and tone in language, the semantics of voice and tone, and the main features of prosody will also be considered. The mutual adjustment of the voice register of the participants in the dialogue is being studied. The tone features determine the degree of dialogue imitation (self-realization of the communicant). With the help of certain tone characteristics, information is given about the peculiarities of the manner of speech, the identity of speech, i.e. about the extent to which it corresponds to the status of communicants and the genre of speech. Language is a complementary combination of two systems: verbal and non-verbal. The study of the latter examines not only oral speech at the present time, especially when attention is paid, but also the analysis of speech discourse and situations in which speech, listening, communication. The use of non-verbal communication components helps to avoid verbal retelling, unreasonable repetition, and makes speech effective, accurate, and semantically complete. The use of non-verbal components of communication gives emotionality, brightness to speech, and focuses attention on any meaning of the spoken word. Therefore, the article analyzes the rationale for the use of gesture components, including prosodic ones, in theoretical and experimental speech communication.
