The words are the same. The meaning is entirely different. The sentence I did not say you were wrong can carry seven distinct meanings depending on which word is stressed, and the brain processes each variation through different neural circuits with different emotional consequences. This fully referenced article explores the neuroscience of vocal prosody, why tone of voice is the primary carrier of emotional meaning in human communication, and how the brain's ancient auditory processing systems determine whether a speaker's words are heard as warmth, threat, sarcasm, or indifference before the language networks have finished their analysis.
