This paper analyzes contrast, modifier of communicative meaning, its accent structure, intonation contour, sound intensity, and use for conveying implicit meanings. We argue that contrastive highlighting of one of the utterances components in the given example is made by the speaker strategically, in order to convey occasional implicit meaning. All examples are illustrated with graphs displaying tone fluctuations and sound intensity.
