Answer 2

1. The difference between the two sentences lies in the pronunciation of the words "æcome" and "àcome," as well as the use of different diacritical marks to indicate the tonal accents. The first sentence, "I’ll æcome to your 'place toֻmorrow," implies that the speaker intends to arrive at the listener's place tomorrow. The use of 'æ' suggests a specific phonetic sound, and the tonal accent on "toֻmorrow" indicates a rising pitch on the last syllable.

In the second sentence, "I’ll àcome to your ‚place toֻmorrow," the word "àcome" is pronounced differently from "æcome." Here, "àcome" implies a more fluid and connected pronunciation. The tonal accent on "‚place" indicates a slightly higher pitch on the first syllable, and the rising pitch on "toֻmorrow" remains the same as in the first sentence.

2. Could you please provide the sentence with the fairly long subordinate clause in post-position? Once you provide the sentence, I'll be happy to help you split it into intonation groups.
