　　Descriptive Phrases

　　Nouns are "heavier" than adjectives; they carry the weight of the new information.

　　An adjective and a noun combination is called a descriptive phrase, and in the absence of contrast or other secondary changes, the stress will always fall naturally on the noun.

　　In the absence of a noun, you will stress the adjective, but as soon as a noun appears on the scene, it takes immediate¹ precedence—and should be stressed.
