5. Emphasis
To make the utterances more lively, emotional or exclamatory – emphatic – pitch is used. Or different sections of pitch-and-stress patterns.
For example, if the Low Falling nuclear tone is changed for the High Fall, the intonation group sounds more emphatic – more chategoric, firm, finel, concerned:
Do you want to stay here? - \No, | I \don’t.
Do you want to stay here? – ٰNo, | I ٰdon’t.
Another way of adding emphasis is by modifying the shape of the head. For instance, the Falling Head can be modified for emphasis by pronouncing the unstressed syllables on the same level as the stressed ones:
\, Ask him to ′ring me ٰup \again.
Often the emphasis is achieved by modifying one section of the pitch-and-stress pattern, but also by combining the modifications in pre-heads, heads and nuclear tones. The pitch-and-stress sections of intonation can be roughly divided into non-emphatic and emphatic:

Pitch-and-stress sections		Non-emphatic	Emphatic
Pre-heads		Low Pre-Head	High Pre-Head
Heads	Descending	Falling Head	Stepping, Sliding, Scandent, Several High Falles, Broken Descending Heads
	Ascending	Rising Head	Climbing Head
	Level	Medium Level Head	Low Level Head, High Level Head
Nuclear and Terminal Tones		Low (Medium) Fall, Low Rise, Mid-Level	High Fall, High Rise, Rise-Fall, Fall-Rise, Rise-Fall-Rise
