Stress and intonation
Which parts stand out, and how does the voice rise and fall?

intonation
Betydning
The way your voice makes parts stand out, rises and falls helps the listener understand your message. These sound choices can highlight a contrast, signal a question or show your attitude. Languages use different patterns, and some have no word stress. Tone concerns pitch patterns that distinguish words or grammatical forms, rather than the emphasis and melody of a whole message.
