Editing Tone (linguistics) (section)

===Tone and intonation===
Both lexical or grammatical tone and prosodic [[intonation (linguistics)|intonation]] are cued by changes in pitch, as well as sometimes by changes in phonation. Lexical tone coexists with intonation, with the lexical changes of pitch like waves superimposed on larger swells. For example, Luksaneeyanawin (1993) describes three intonational patterns in Thai: falling (with semantics of "finality, closedness, and definiteness"), rising ("non-finality, openness and non-definiteness") and "convoluted" (contrariness, conflict and emphasis). The phonetic realization of these intonational patterns superimposed on the five lexical tones of Thai (in citation form) are as follows:<ref name="Laver John 1994 pp. 477-478">{{cite book | last1=Laver | first1=John | last2=John | first2=Laver | title=Principles of Phonetics | publisher=Cambridge University Press | date=1994-05-12 | isbn=0-521-45655-X | pages=477–478}}</ref>

With convoluted intonation, it appears that high and falling tone conflate, while the low tone with convoluted intonation has the same contour as rising tone with rising intonation.
