Default DOUBTS about intonation
Plz, Plz.. Can you explain me the different functions of the intonation like grammatical, emotional, information structure,textual, psychological and indexical?, I'll appreciate some examples. Thank you so much.

Rısing intonation means a question is being asked or information is being sought.

Falling intonation means confirmation of information.

Depending on what is being talked about.

This is all I know so far.
