Intonation
So, if I put high intonation to word "your": What is YOUR school record? then it will means question about membership of the difinite school record from a group of records to me.
With a neutral intonation it will be a question about directly record, maybe it`s parameters (jumping altitude, time of swimming/running for a distance) without any doubts about membership of this record to me.
Is intonation used for marking words in questions like in my situation?
