Finally, ELT textbooks still tend to teach intonation from grammatical dimension, especially in Pakistani language classroom that is already heavily influenced with grammar in other aspects. Secondly, grammatical model being one of the earliest approaches to intonation seems to be the base for other approaches to intonation. I have selected the former model first because grammar and intonation historically have been considered close and inter-related (Coupler_Kohlen: 1986) and are still popular in countries like Pakistan where teaching of pronunciation is in an early transitional phase. In this essay, I compare and contrast grammatical model of intonation with discourse intonation model.
