Abstract:

Taking both an empirical and a theoretical view of the prosodic phrasing of
parentheticals in English, this book reviews the syntactic and prosodic
literature on parentheticals along with relevant theoretical work at the
syntax-prosody interface. It offers a detailed prosodic analysis of six types
of parentheticals - full parenthetical clauses, non-restrictive relative
clauses, nominal appositions, comment clauses, reporting verbs, and question
tags, all taken from the spoken part of the British Component of the
International Corpus of English. To date, the common assumption is that, by
default, parentheticals are prosodically phrased separately, an assumption
which, as this study shows, is not always in line with the predictions made by
current prosodic theory. The present study provides new empirical evidence for
the prosodic phrasing of parentheticals in spontaneous and semi-spontaneous
spoken English, and offers new implications for a theory of linguistic
interfaces.
