Like when you emphasize the wrong syllable, or the flow of the sentence was spoken really chunky.

No matter how I phrase my question, search results are just about regular kerning.

So, example: "Hey, what's the wifi password?"->"Heywhat's the wi fipassword".

Edit: Thank you! Cadence. I appreciate you guys :)

Cadence or intonation depending on what you mean.

Thanks!

Edit: and that link is awesome. I'm going to dive into some fun linguistic knowledge!

Yeah, the Wikipedia linguistics hole is bottomless. If you get deep enough, it turns into math.
