INTONATION FEATURES OF PARENTHETICAL CLAUSES IN ENGLISH

This work is devoted to students ' assimilation of English phrasal intonation. While working with foreign students, many teachers of English as a non-native language notice that often even advanced students do not fully master the English intonation. What can this be related to? It can be assumed that not enough time is given to intonation in classes on English as a foreign language. The basics of English intonation are learned by students at the first lessons, but there is usually no corrective intonation course for them. While studying a foreign language, the student faces prosodic interference, which is not always overcome properly. Often students transfer the intonation of their first language to the language being studied, and the success in mastering the intonation often depends on the "base" from which the student started learning English.
