Hello,
I know that stress can be shifted in a phrase to emphasize the words that mean more specifically what the speaker wishes to express, however I'm interested in the default stress where the phrase is pronounced without any special shifting.
That's so not funny.
In the dictionaries "that's" has two forms: ðæts and the unstressed form ðəts (reduced with the schwa vowel).
I think the unstressed one can be used in the phrase above. Right?
