one adjective and two or more nouns

[nello]

in phrases like these: future love paradise

does stress depend on the context?
How can I link future to "love" rather than "paradise"?
Thank you

The stress placed on a word or words always depends on context.

Question:

How can I link future to "love" rather than "paradise"?

Perhaps:

In the future I will be in love.

Or:

I look forward to a future of love in paradise.

Hi,
I think you misunderstood the question, Ron. Nello must have meant the logical stress. It's an issue that warrants for some attention, I even made a rule for my pupils three or four years ago because of their constant intonation mistakes.
Here it is, in a nutshell.
If a noun has an attribute in the form of a noun, this attribute should be logically stressed, but not the main noun ( sorry, can't remember the grammar term).
a knife handle
a silver knife handle
a love paradize
the future love paradize

If the attribute denotes some material, it's either not stressed or stressed much less than the main noun.
a stone house
a long metal bar

Regards

You might be right, but omit for in that phrase. Thus, it should be:

It's an issue that warrants some attention.

Stress.

a knife handle (yes)
a silver knife handle (yes)
a silver knife handle (yes)
a love paradise (yes)
a (or the) future love paradise (yes)

In the phrase a silver knife handle the stress would go on the word the speaker wants to emphasize.

Thank you, Ron.
Yes, I mixed them up : a warrant for, to warrant sth.

Sure enough, we can stress just anything, including articles and prepositions. I meant a typical stress.

Of course, knife and love are actually adjectives in these phrases.
What some like to call nominal ajectives.
