Q:

Stress in the sentence "I'm proud of you, Hannah"

I know that we usually stress content words in a sentence and unstress function words as long as stress is not shifted for special emphasis.
In the sentence, "I'm proud of you, Hannah", I would probably stress the words "proud" and "Hannah" leaving the pronoun "you" unstressed. I think that stressing "you" doesn't make sense because I also provided the name of the person and clearly I don't make special emphasis. Am I right?

A:

It all depends on the context and exactly what you're trying to communicate:

I'm proud of you, Hannah!

(others may be proud of you, but I want you to know that I am, too)

I'm proud of you, Hannah!

(not disappointed in you, as you might be thinking)

I'm proud of you, Hannah!

(others may have done well, but I want you to know particularly how I feel about you)
