Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the results of research based on the prosodic and information structure of sentences in the Serbian language. Furthermore, this paper presents a transition between the formal and the functional approach. It was modeled on a similar research done in the case of Germanic languages. The questionnaires received audio records. Based on those, we concluded that the change in one part of the sentence causes changes in other parts of the sentence. Therefore, accents are relational.
