Despite its importance, intonation continues to be relatively neglected in English pronunciation teaching. One possible reason for this neglect is that most accounts of English intonation and accent are too complicated and detailed. They are not easily accessible to the average English teacher, and hence of very little practical use. This article aims to present an account of the general workings of English intonation and accent which, while hopefully preserving reasonable accuracy, is of greater pedagogical value to teachers. Some emphasis is placed on the functions of intonation and a prominent role is assigned to accent placement (otherwise known as tonicity). The discourse dimension is taken into account to provide an overall framework for the interpretation of intonation and accent in English in a manner easily accessible to both teachers and learners.
