[Corpora-List] My semantic prosody questionnaire

[Mcenery, Tony]

This is a very interesting experiment. I wonder whether it may also be worth carrying out an experiment to see whether the manipulation of semantic prosody gives rise to predictable hearer effects? Can semantic prosody really be manipulated to create irony etc. as the literature has claimed? My belief is that semantic prosody is an observable phenomenon which does produce fairly predictable hearer effects, but it would be nice to be able to reference an experiment which demonstrated this to be the case.
