Speech & Pronunciation
Intonation or tone
Hi,
I also notice that when we say proper name or someone name, the tone or intonation changes unlike when we say an object. For example, when we say apple as a fruit and Apple as someone's name, will they be said differently in terms of the tone and intonation?
Thanks

If the pronunciation is the same (but we cannot always be sure of that with proper names), then the tone or intonation will be the same if the words are placed in the same grammatical and semantic structure within an utterance.
