*If many one-syllable words come after each other, the second and the last words are stressed.

*Since stressed syllables get a slightly higher pitch, it can carry on to the next syllable in long words. The longest words might sometimes get a peculiar up-down pattern.

*Since stressed syllables get a slightly higher pitch, it can carry on to the next syllable in long words. The longest words might sometimes get a peculiar up-down pitch-pattern.
