No matter how simple a form we take and how we utter it, we have already made some selection by virtue of which the utterance conveys a grammatical meaning in addition to its lexical content, and we have used some pitch-scheme which, in English at any rate, lends it a grammatical meaning such as 'statement', 'yes-or-no question', 'supplement-question', or 'exclamation'. - Bloomfield (1935), a pag.169
