High rise
Auditorily, an IP-final high rise begins at mid pitch, which continues until a rise at the IP-boundary. Usually, the mid pitch is reached late in the accented syllable, while the beginning is low, as is commonly the case for H*. It is mostly used in questions.
We transcribe: H* H%.
High rises are frequently used utterance-internally, to indicate that another IP follows.

In the next example, the first phrase is realised with H*H%, followed by a single H* in the second phrase, i.e., a level tone:
The following utterance illustrates a high rise in nonfinal position in IP, realised on a monosyllable.
