Experimental and theoretical advances in prosody: A review (2010, background): “…acoustic properties of prosody map onto an abstract phonological representation; this view is not shared by all researchers in the field (e.g., see Ladd, 2008 for discussion), some of whom argue that there is a direct mapping between acoustic features and linguistic meaning (e.g., Xu & Xu, 2005).”
Prosodic effects of focus in Dutch declaratives (2008, background): “A comparison of [6] with a study of British English [7] suggests that the use of prosodic cues to focus varies cross-linguistically.”
Prosody in context: a review (2015, background): “An opposing view in contemporary work holds that prosodic features are directly determined on the basis of syntactic or semantic properties of an utterance, denying a role for phonological prosodic structure (Xu & Xu, 2005; see also the discussion in Wagner and Watson (2010, p. 936).”
