The questions are of importance to me.

Hi,

Before take them up with you, I'll introduce them.

You know different stress paterns give different meaning and logic position.

for example:

thyself thy foe

[thyself]------it is the derivation of [thy foe], so ,[thyself]given a stress song.

No pain no gain.

[no pain]-----it is the derivation of [no gain], so [no pain]given a stress song.

Happy birthday.

[birthday]-----it is the derivation of Emotion: happy, so [birthday]given a stree song.

Welcome to Taiwan.

[to Taiwan]----it is the derivation of [welcome], so [to Taiwan]given a stress dong.

Now I have some question about that, I don't know which is which.

And ask for the right answer to any native speaker. I need your help to know which is to give a stress sound.

1. Who is that? It is her.

Is [that] the derivation of [who]? and Is [that] given a stree sound?

2. Where is he?

Is [he] the derivation of [where]? and is [he] given a stress sound?

3. I show you which one you want / you should give me.

[which one] and [you want], I don't know which is which.

Does different verbs give cause for different result or not?

4. Which one do you want?

Is this sentence the same as the above?

Does an affirmative sentence or interrogative sentence concern the giving of a stress soun

5. A straw will show which way the wind blows.

[which way] and [the wind blows], I don't know which is which.

6. To whom it may concern

[to whom] and [it may concern], I don't know which is which.

Thank you for your assistance.

1. The word "her" is stressed in speech.

2. The word "is" is stressed in speech.

3. It should be: "I'll show you which one you should give me." The sentence, "I'll show you which one you want.", doesn't really make any sense (How can you know what someone wants?).

Hi,

But [her is stressed in speech] in sentence 1 is still in some doubt to me.

I seemly think [It is her] is the same as [where is he], and [it] is stressed in speech.

Could you tell me correct or not?

Thank you very much.

Hi,

Thank you in response to me.

The question is due to different stress patterns giving different meanings and logical language.

For example:

1.{ to whom it may concern} and {no pain no gian};

their stress pattern and pitch and the logic of language are the same as eatch other;----connected with whom, it may concern / connected with no pain, no gain;
