Abstract

The issue of investigation of structural-syntactic and intonation types and kinds of different sentences in the language, began to be broaden since the third decade of the XX century.

The investigation of sentence intonation in the initial stage was more linked with teaching of the languages. In the later period alongside the linguists, psychologists, physics, and specialists of other branches of science also were engaged in the study of speech intonation. Up to the last years, in the carried out investigations, the main attention was paid to the formal investigation of intonation structure of communicative types of sentences. That’s why only the structural-semantic analysis of communicative and derivational types of sentences was not satisfactory enough to discover their semantic contents as a whole.

But in the modern stage, study of syntax of sentence and its semantics in the plan of intonation variety, proved that the investigation of this problem is more actual than ever today. Thus, comparative study of sentence belonging to each communicative type, including the study of phono-semantic variety of simple types of declarative sentences in the English language which we carry out in a certain contextual-situational phrase, with intonative variety, bears a special importance in the modern stage. A sentence in a certain situation is used for a special purpose and receives an adequate form of intonation. The same sentence in different contexts is never expressed with the same intonation counters. It is in a certain degree subjected to different variations.
