EMPHASIS AND INFLECTION. (37)

Emphasis sometimes changes the inflection from the rising to the falling,

or from the falling to the rising. For instances of the former change, see

Rule II, and Exception 1 to Rule IV. In the first three following

examples, the inflection is changed from the rising to the falling

inflection; in the last three, it is changed from the falling to the

rising, by the influence of emphasis.
