Here's something fun with English. The seven-word sentence, "I never said she stole my money," possesses seven distinct meanings based on which word is stressed (inflection). The stress shifts the focus of the accusation or denial, changing the interpretation of the same sentance entirely. Here is the example with the stressed or inflection word inside the [] and the new sentance meaning. [I] never said she stole my money. — Someone else said it, not me. I [never] said she stole my money. — I absolutely did not say that. I never [said] she stole my money. — I implied it or suggested it, but did not say it directly. I never said [she] stole my money. — I said someone stole it, but not her. I never said she [stole] my money. — I meant she borrowed it, out got it by other means, not stole it. I never said she stole [my] money. — She stole money, but it belonged to someone other than me. I never said she stole my [money]. — She stole something else of mine, not money. Don't get me started on the 7 buffalo sentence.
