Distal prosodic context affects word segmentation and lexical processing (2008, background): “Moreover, the interpretation of ambiguous syntactic structure is apparently influenced by the relative sizes of prosodic boundaries in a sentence ( Carlson, Clifton, & Frazier, 2001; Schafer, Speer, Warren, & White, 2000); in addition, the processing of words which represent potential lexical embed”
Using prosody to avoid ambiguity: Effects of speaker awareness and referential context (2003, background): “Recently, several researchers have found that the relation between syntax and prosody is best captured by examining the entire prosodic structure of the utterance, rather than individual prosodic boundary points (Carlson et al., 2001; Pynte & Prieur, 1996; Schafer et al., 2000a).”
Analog acoustic expression in speech communication (2006, background): “Research on prosody has mainly focused on the information it conveys about the speaker’s internal state (e.g., emotion, Banse & Scherer, 1996; Cosmides, 1983; Scherer, Ladd, & Silverman, 1984; or attitude, Bryant & Fox Tree, 2002; Rockwell, 2000), intended syntactic structure (e.g., Beach, 1991; Ca”
Experimental and theoretical advances in prosody: A review (2010, background): “, Carlson et al., 2001; Schafer et al., 2005; Snedeker & Trueswell, 2003). Theories based on disjuncture, like Watson and Gibson’s (2004a, 2005) anti-attachment hypothesis, argue that boundaries primarily serve as a signal of nonlocal attachment. The boundary after ‘‘maintained’’ in (6) signals that”
Is it all relative? Effects of prosodic boundaries on the comprehension and production of attachment ambiguities (2010, unknown): “In a series of comprehension studies, Carlson and colleagues demonstrate that relative boundary size has an effect on interpretation (Clifton et al. 2002; Carlson et al., 2001).”
Accent and reference resolution in spoken-language comprehension (2002, background): “The distribution of accents has often been explained by appealing to the information status of the expressions in the utterance (e.g., Bolinger, 1972; Selkirk, 1984; for a review, see Ladd, 1996).”
