I'm interested to learn why the following three-word phrases have stress on different words.
- "little straw house" (stress is on little and house)
- "small wooden house" (stress is on wooden)
Here are the sentences:
- The first little pig built a little straw house.
- The second little pig built a small wooden house.
How come the stress for the second phrase is not on small and house?
Can you please help?
