RISING INFLECTION. (23)

RULE IV.--The rising inflection is generally used where the sense is

dependent or incomplete.

REMARK.--This inflection is generally very slight, requiring an acute and

educated ear to discern it, and it is difficult to teach pupils to

distinguish it, though they constantly use it. Care should be taken not to

exaggerate it.
