Abstract
The goal of the present study is to explore how the impact of pragmatic value, degree of giving and position in Intonation Phrase (IP) rhythmic structure can be reconciled in the ongoing discourse. Six interviews were saved on tapes, and then they were transcribed. These interviews were divided into two parts: auditory and acoustic. For analysis, 389 words were selected, and the mean syllable duration in these selected words showed the cognitive scenario and intensifiers. The data were grouped according to novelty/giving, the pragmatic value of the words representing different frames (concepts) of the scenario and the position in IP construction. Statistical analysis showed that the prominence category is on a gradient. Moreover, the pragmatic value of the words represent different concepts/frames in the scenario. According to this research's data, the final position in IP is most favourable. Based on the results of this study, rhythm has a role in regulating and rearranging discourse.
