I'm not sure whether stresses are quite what you're looking for but stressing different words can change the meaning:



No, Amy. I am only interested in the meaning regardless of intended intonation to serve specific purposes.

This has to do with human translators vs. machine translators.

Thank you so very much for your help! Should I be able to write something interesting, I will share it with you.

another possibility... Jun 18, 2006

It occured to me just now, when I was asking for someone on the phone, saying: "Could I have Mark?", that I maybe can say, Mary had a little lamb on the phone. Did they reminisce about the lion?
