Post-Lexical and Prosodic Phonological Processing.
Warren, Paul; And Others
Language and Cognitive Processes, v10 n3-4 p411-17 Aug 1995

The chosen materials involve sites of parsing ambiguity. Results show that in the immediate interpretation of spoken language input, intonational contrasts function as clear structural disambiguators. (18 references) (CK)
