Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

This paper reports on the results of two groups of experiments conducted in order to examine the melodic correlates of demarcation and constituency in subordination and coordination structures. Experimental material were noun phrases of the form "A of B of C of D" and "A, B, C and D" followed by a short VP. A, B, C and D were noun groups like "article + noun" or "pronoun + noun" or "pronoun + adjective + noun". The relation between grammatical structure and pitch is examined in terms of both phonological interpretation and phonetic data. Also a phonological model of intonation is proposed bearing on the results of the experimental material.
