The conduct of the former is deserving of approbation, while that of the latter merits the severest reprobation. EMPHASIS AND INFLECTION. (37) Emphasis sometimes changes the inflection from the rising to the falling, or from the falling to the rising. For instances of the former change, see Rule II, and Exception 1 to Rule IV. In the first three following examples, the inflection is changed from the rising to the falling inflection; in the last three, it is changed from the falling to the rising, by the influence of emphasis. EXAMPLES. (37) 1. If we have no regard for religion in youth', we ought to have respect for it in age. |
