Inflections

The articulations of inflection at some level involve cultural values and physical and kinetic metaphors. For instance, question has a rise in it, a cry and a making-precise of sound, an attempt at differentiation. Termination has a pause or a bass, a release or return or dropping of energy into resolution. Raising of energy by volume with a dropping of pitch becomes very visceral; lowering of volume and raising of pitch relatively etherial and cerebral.
