Does Prosody Support or Direct Sentence Processing?
Stirling, Lesley; Wales, Roger
Language and Cognitive Processes, v11 n1-2 p193-212 Feb-Apr 1996
Examines, through two studies, how prosodic information affects syntactic processing in locally ambiguous sentences. The first study dealt with people's judgments of the continuation of locally ambiguous sentence fragments of differing lengths. The second concerned ratings of normality of sentence types with differing contours. (27 references) (Author/CK)
