You're missing the point.
- I didn't steal your money
- I didn't steal your money
- I didn't steal your money
- I didn't steal your money
- I didn't steal your money
In each case, there is an implication that is missing in the flat, no stressed version.
- Dylan16807 11y agoYou could do that. But it's not a part of a typical sentence. You can also add implications by the gestures you make in between words. That doesn't make English complicated, that's just an irrelevant thing you can do. Calling such a thing 'hugely important' is just wrong. I didn't miss the point, I think the point has no connection with actual speech.
