Hi,

I am working in Natural Languages, in the Syntax branch, and I am trying to deal
with a problem wich seems not to be dealt with in current research: the
apposition and similar syntactic phenomena.

I am trying to tackle the problem from two different perspective in order to
characterize the problem:

1) from the shallow syntactic point of view: what marks such structures?
2) from the prosodic point of view: are there melodic marks of such structures?

I would be glad if anyone could help me with work already done in this subject,

Best regard,

Thomas.

i've come across references to sentence-final prosodic effects in
zulu. i'm wondering if i can get a description in terms of vowel
length, quality, tone, etc.  i'm also wondering if there's published
literature on zulu prosody. i'd be really curious to know if it occurs
sentence-internal as well, ie, whether it's the edge of an
intonational phrase.
