I'm looking for a book I saw many years ago. The book showed how a sentence could have different meanings, depending where you placed the emphasis. To indicate the emphasis, the book put a dot above a particular word.

It's a technique I'd like to use in a book myself.

If you're familiar with the book, do you know it's title? Otherwise, do you know of an alternative resource or topic on this technique?

For example, in the sentence "I never said she stole my money", if you stress a different word each time you read it the meaning changes. Try it, it's cool.

This is called the accentual function of prosody.. I know a book that describes this- English Phonetics and Phonology (Cambridge 2009) but I also pasted a link to Wiki on the definition.
