The pitch pattern in a sentence is known as :

  • A.Fundamental frequency
  • B.Intonation
  • C.Timbre
  • D.Phonology

Answer: B

The pitch pattern of a sentence is called intonation.

Intonation is the rise and fall of pitch across a phrase or sentence, which signals questions, statements, emphasis and emotion. In forensic speaker comparison, a speaker's habitual intonation patterns are among the features examined.

The fundamental frequency is the physical rate of vibration of the vocal folds at any one moment, which is heard as pitch; intonation is its pattern over the sentence. Timbre is voice quality, the property that makes two voices at the same pitch sound different, and phonology is the study of a language's sound system.
