What is "prosody"?

Prosody refers to the patterns of rhythm, stress, and intonation in speech that contribute to its meaning and emotional expression. It includes aspects such as the length of sounds, the pitch of voice, and the pauses between words. Prosody helps convey nuances like questioning, excitement, or sadness in spoken language. For example, a rising pitch at the end of a sentence often indicates a question, while a steady tone may suggest certainty. Understanding prosody is essential for effective communication, as it enhances the clarity and expressiveness of spoken language.
