The music of spoken English is sentence stress. Sentence stress, 
like word stress, can aid comprehension of spoken English, 
particularly rapid spoken English. The rhythm or "beat" of English is 
determined by sentence stress. You recall that word stress refers to the 
emphasis placed on a single syllable inside a word. Sentence stress 
refers to the emphasis placed on specific words inside a sentence. 
There are two fundamental sorts of words in most sentences: 
The main words in a sentence are called content words. They are 
the key words that convey the true meaning or sense of the text. 
Words like structure aren't particularly important. They are 
modest, straightforward words that ensure that the statement is 
grammatically correct. They give the sentence its proper structure and 
form. 
If you take out the structure terms from a statement, you should still 
be able to understand it. 
You will not be able to understand a statement if the content words are 
removed. The sentence is completely meaningless. 
Assume 
you 
receive 
the 
following 
telegram:
This sentence is not complete. It is not a "grammatically correct" 
sentence. But you probably understand it. These 4 words 
communicate very well. 
Somebody wants you to sell their car for them 
because they have gone to France.
We can add a few words: 
The new words provide no additional information. However, they 
improve the message's grammatical accuracy. Even more words can 
be added to produce a complete, grammatically correct statement. 
However, the data is essentially the same:

In our sentence, the 4 key words (sell, car, gone, France) are 
accentuated or stressed. 
What is the significance of this for pronunciation? It's significant 
because it gives the language a sense of "music." It's the English 
language's beat. It affects how quickly we speak (and listen to) the 
language. Each stressed word is separated by the same amount of 
time. 
In our sentence, there is 1 syllable between SELL and CAR 
and 3 syllables between CAR and GONE. But the time (
t
) between 
SELL and CAR and between CAR and GONE is the same. On the 
emphasized words, we keep a steady beat. To do this, we say "my" 
more slowly and "because I've" faster. We alter the speed of the minor 
structure words while maintaining the rhythm of the key content 
words.
