Hi,
Take "blue car|" for example, if we only stress the word blue, then it is a set phrase; but if the word car is stressed, not "blue", it is a description, which means the car is blue, not red.
So if that is the case, why is that so. Why do people want to emphasize the car is blue but stress the word car.
Thank you!
