Sometimes a slight pause precedes a meaningfully downbeat delivery of the last word.
The high today will be 14 . . . Bill.
Sometimes a just-more-than-slight pause acts like audible punctuation or a line break.
And that leaves the Yankees leading the ALCS
two games to one.
Bill.
Sometimes there is no discernible pause but the rising intonation catches your attention.
Traffic is moving well
with no accidents this morning, Bill?
But sometimes it all just runs together Bill so that it’s hard to tell when the weather/sports/traffic specialist has stopped talking Bill and is trying to hand the baton back to the morning-show host without any (shudder) dead air Bill because everyone speeds up on their delivery of the repetitive bits of their patter and the host’s name just gets tacked on at the end of it without any pause or intonation change Bill.
