Interesting Observation:

"I didn't say you stole the wallet" -
How would we interpret that statement?

The importance of emphasis on each word or phrase can determine what we could mean by what we say.

Example 1: If you put the emphasis on ''I" in the sentence - "I didn't say you stole the wallet," - you are saying that it wasn't him/her making the accusation that it was in fact someone else

Example 2. If you put the emphasis on 'didn't in the sentence -"I didn't say you stole the wallet"- you are saying that it wasn't him/her at all and that they are in complete denial of ever making the accusation

Example 3. If you put the emphasis on "say," in the sentence -"I didn't say you stole the wallet"- you are saying that they perhaps might not have said exactly that "you stole the wallet", however might have said something quite on the contrary, maybe borrowed it instead of stole it.

Example 4. If you put the emphasis on "you"in the sentence - "I didn't say you stole the wallet"- you are saying that it was not you" but it was someone else that stole the wallet.

Just learned this not long ago ... Interesting observation of how much emphasis on one word can really translate what we say differently depending on what emphasis is used also.
