Prosody is concerned with
those elements of speech that are not individual phonetic segments (vowels
and consonants) but are properties of syllables and larger units of
speech. These contribute to linguistic functions such as intonation, tone,
stress, and rhythm. Prosody may reflect various features of the speaker or the
utterance: the emotional state of the speaker; the form of the utterance
(statement, question, or command); the presence of irony or sarcasm;
emphasis, contrast, and focus; or other elements of language that may
not be encoded by grammar or by choice of vocabulary.
