Abstract:
This work exclusively aims to explore the erroneous interrogative intonation produced by university students.The observed weakness in undergraduates' verbal production; especially in intonation mastery was the major motivebehind conducting the current study.This paper adopted the descriptive analytic method. Fifty students were randomly selected from Sudan University of Science and Technology and Al-Neelain Universityto represent the study sample. In the conduct of analysis, a diagnostic test was utilized to collect the data regarding the production of suchintonation. Theobtained findings of the statistical analysis rejected the alternative hypothesis in favour of the null hypothesis. Based on the present work outputs, it is suggested that intonation respecting declarative and tag questions should be considered more broadly in further studies.
