#Stress: is the relative strength of a syllable.
#Intonation: is the use of the pitch of the voice to convey meaning.
As an example of stress, consider the difference between the pronunciation of "contract" as a noun (‘they signed a contract) and "contract" as a verb (it started to contract).
In the former, the stress is on the first syllable, while in the latter it is on the second syllable. In General, the stress goes on the first syllable in nouns and on the second syllable in verbs.
A possible example of intonation would be the different pitch movements on the word "well" said as an exclamation and as a question: in the first case the pitch will usually fall from high to low, while in the second it will rise from low to high.
