Any linguists who teach the role of prosody and intonation in conveying meaning, you might find this a useful demonstration. I think the use of contrastive focus at about 0:48 particularly striking.

@ergative I'm mildly amused at what Google's automatic captioning did with it. (I mean, if I were going to share this with a hearing-impaired person, I'd be quite upset at how useless it is. But as an engineer, I'm intrigued by the particular *way* in which it failed.)
