• Linear Order and Constituency (2003, methodology): “S andS VPNP S John V sold NP Mary VP V NP bought the stack of books . . . 24 In combinatory categorial grammars it is also possible to analyze RNR as constituent coordination without resorting to a disguised clausal coordination approach (Dowty 1988, Steedman 2000b).”
• Is it all relative? Effects of prosodic boundaries on the comprehension and production of attachment ambiguities (2010, unknown): “While the precise mapping between accent types and discourse is controversial, most theorists claim that L+H* accents signal new information (Pierrehumbert & Hirschberg, 1990; Baumann, 2005) or discourse themes (Steedman, 2000).”
• The relationship between intonational phrasing and syntactic structure in language production (2004, background): “For example, pitch accents and prosodic phrasing can communicate information such as discourse structure by signalling which information is given, new, or most salient (Bolinger, 1972; Dahan, Tanenhaus, & Chambers, 2002; Gussenhoven, 2002; Pierrehumbert & Hirschberg, 1990; Schafer, 1997; Selkirk, 19”
• The Configurational Matrix (2002, background): “Steedman (2000b) suggests that these all fit the same schema, but even so, multiple dependents can be accommodated only by rule.”
• Multimodal child-robot interaction: building social bonds (2013, methodology): “Alternatively, the output could be a logical form that would serve as input into a grammar-based lexical realization component using OpenCCG.”
• Information Presentation in Spoken Dialogue Systems (2006, background): “In FLIGHTS, coherence and naturalness of descriptions were increased by reasoning about information structure (Steedman, 2000) to control intonation, using referring expressions that highlight attributes relevant to the user (e.g., (cid:147)the cheapest (cid:3)ight(cid:148) vs. (cid:147)a KLM…”
• Pragmatic aspects of temporal accommodation in turn-taking (2011, background): “Despite the wealth of research analyzing the relationship between the process of establishing common ground and intonation (e.g. Brown, 1983; Pierrehumbert and Hirschberg, 1990; Steedman, 2000; Dahan et al., 2002), its temporal aspects have not been widely studied.”
• The role of contrastive intonation contours in the retrieval of contextual alternatives (2010, background): “narrow focus (Jackendoff, 1972; Rooth, 1992; Steedman, 2000, among others).”
