prosodic development listserv question

[Anna Clark]

I am working on my thesis and am writing to query the listserv about the
development of linguistic use of prosody. I am currently developing a
longitudinal research analysis study of use of linguistic prosody in a
repetition task by English-speaking children with cochlear implants as compared
with normal-hearing peers.

I'm interested in finding more recent research on typical development of
linguistic prosody or historical research of this in hoh/deaf populations.

I have read much current research on emphatic stress, accurate syllable
repetition, terminal syllable contours, as well as segmental analyses in
typical & deaf/h-o-h populations.

I am very interested in studying phrasal stress, syllable reduction and timing
aspects within various phrasal structures (NP, complex clause structures, PP,
AP, etc...), i.e. the more suprasegmental aspects of phonology. I am aware of
studies from the 1970's on these topics (outlined in Child Phonology vol. 1),
but am wondering if someone could point me to any recent research on this
topic.  Thank you much.

I'll be happy to post a summary of responses, as I would appreciate greatly any
guidance in this area of literature as to recent work, or landmark studies.
