The instrinsic meaning of [to speak]

Hi,

1. In[What the heart thinks the tongue speaks.], the heart makes its thought coming to what, and that the tongue's speaking has [what] as its object------the purpose of the tongue's speaking is [what].

the stress in speaeh is up to the intrinsic meaning:

the heart -----acts as a dominator to the action of to think, and that the stress in speech whit it;

thinks

what

speaks

the tongue

2. In [What the tongue speaks.], there are two ways to give the stress patterns to its different meanings.

a.

what -----the stress in speech here

speaks

the tongue

It means that [what] is the object of [to speak] and [the tongue] is on willing to act as an acceptor of the action of to speak.

b.

the tongue----the stress in speech here

speaks

what

It means that [the tongue] acts as a dominator, he makes the action of to speak, and [what] is not on willing to act as a sufferer of the action of to speak.

Could any one help me and tell me correct or not?

Thanks a lot.
