Grendel wages war, that is terrorizes Heorot and its inhabitants, because he is a carnivorous, devilish creature that is committed to disturbing the king's peace and prosperity of the realm. The Dragon, on the other hand, wages war simply because a slave stole a cup from the treasure he had guarded for ages. So, his motivation is retribution. Grendel is a subverted human, the descendant of Cain, so he challenges the king and his subjects. The Dragon is something less particular, a kind of irrational force that subverts the order itself. He strikes Beowulf's kingdom. The clash of the two of them will end with both being dead, and the conflict unresolved.

Inflection refers to the ability of the vocal spectrum to change the tone of words to convey different meaning or purposes.
So, having mentioned the former, the statement that contrast inferencing and inflection is:
Inferencing occurs in the mind and inflection occurs with the voice.
