Abstract

The article aims to describe the intonation phrase in a prosodic and pragmatic context. In the theoretical part, the concept of the intonation phrase will be defined. In the empirical part, I will analyze the intonation phrases in a live sports broadcast in terms of their phonetic properties and the context in which they occur. It will be shown that the intonation phrase is a prosodic expression and structuring unit that is independent of grammar, and had two functions: segmenting and stylistic-rhetorical
