vocative comma when talking

If I say, "IwilldocardiologyHoney........Will I get richer today?

By default, since there is no increased pause between cardiology and Honey, must the words "I will do cardiology" automatically become addressed to Honey, even if this was not my intent?

Or can it be the case that I was saying to myself "I will do Cardiology" then without pausing said "Honey" out loud to to get her attention so that she will listen to whatever I say after saying her name, Honey. This was my original intention however, I am not sure if this interpretation would be possible to discern.

Basically I want confirmation or reassurance that if you say something out loud and then say someone's name, you are not automatically addressing those preceding words to that person unless that was your original intent. However, I am not sure if this reasoning is true or not.

Solution 1:

It depends to a great extent on the pronunciation of the word "Honey" (or whatever noun or term of address that is used after). If you pronounce it with great force, very loud, then it is going to be decoded as a signal of more or less great urgency and the words that precede will be entirely forgotten. If you use a certain pronunciation then the signal might unmistakably be that the words have been intended for them. Another possibility is that the pronunciation is not that usual for an address but rather, as a last second option, that usual for soliciting attention, as it was suddenly felt that no one was listening; again, the word "Honey" is going to be decoded as such.
