Juncture
It is another measure of intonation.
It characterizes the passage from one sound to the next sound in
the stream of speech.
Basically, juncture interposes a temporary stoppage of the flow of
speech.
It suggests the need or propriety of pausing to obtain clarity in
thought relation.
Note:
If the sentence consists only of one thought group, juncture
is no longer needed.
Ex.
My teacher teaches English well.
I am interested in Mathematics.
My brother topped the board examination for engineers.
A change of places of juncture in the sentence logically change
the meaning of the sentence
Ex.
My teacher said / the doctor is pregnant.
(Who is pregnant?)
(Ans. The doctor)
DOUBLE JUNCTURE
Indicates the need for a longer pause between two, thought
groups in a sentence.
