Pronunciation of pronouns in different syntactic functions Dear linguists, could you please explain us what is this topic about and show us a few examples? Is there any other appellation for this phenomenon? Thanks

If you stress a pronoun in the sentence, it will be pronounced normally. If you don't stress a pronoun, it will be reduced to "weak form." For example, HE wants to drink water. -> HE = /hiː/ -> You stress the word "he." He wants to drink WATER. -> He = /hi/ -> You stress the word "water." https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/he
