Abstract:


In spoken language comprehension, the hearer is faced with a more or
less continuous stream of auditory information. Prosodic cues, such as
pitch movement, pre-boundary lengthening, and pauses, incrementally
help to organize the incoming stream of information into prosodic
phrases, which often coincide with syntactic units. Prosody is hence
central to spoken language comprehension and some models assume that
the speaker produces prosody in a consistent and hierarchical fashion.
While there is manifold empirical evidence that prosodic boundary cues
are reliably and robustly produced and effectively guide spoken
sentence comprehension across different populations and languages, the
underlying mechanisms and the nature of the prosody-syntax interface
still have not been identified sufficiently. This is also reflected in
the fact that most models on sentence processing completely lack
prosodic information.

This edited book volume is grounded in a workshop that was held in
2021 at the annual conference of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für
Sprachwissenschaft (DGfS). The five chapters cover selected topics on
the production and comprehension of prosodic cues in various
populations and languages, all focusing in particular on processing of
prosody at structurally relevant prosodic boundaries. Specifically,
the book comprises cross-linguistic evidence as well as evidence from
non-native listeners, infants, adults, and elderly speakers,
highlighting the important role of prosody in both language production
and comprehension.
