答案The main features include stress,tone and intonation.Stress refers to both word stress and sentence stress.The shift of stress changes the meaning or the part of speech of a word and the meaning of a sentence. Tone refers to the pitch variation which is an important feature for some languages called tone languages,such as Chinese. Intonation is especially important in a language like English.The three most frequently used intonations are the fall,the rise and the fall-rise.The falling intonation conveys a straight-forward fact;the rising intonation indicates a question;and the fall-rise intonation always conveys some implication.
