Abstract:

Prosody has been characterised as a "half-tamed savage" being shaped by both
discrete, categorical aspects as well as gradient, continuous phenomena. This
book is concerned with the relation of the "wild" and the "tamed" sides of
prosodic prominence. It reviews problems that arise from a strict separation
of categorical and continuous representations in models of phonetics and
phonology, and it explores the potential role of descriptions aimed at
reconciling the two domains. In doing so, the book offers an introduction to
dynamical systems, a framework that has been studied extensively in the last
decades to model speech production and perception. The reported acoustic and
articulatory data presented in this book show that categorical and continuous
modulations used to enhance prosodic prominence are deeply intertwined and
even exhibit a kind of symbiosis. A multi-dimensional dynamical model of
prosodic prominence is sketched, based on the empirical data, combining tonal
and articulatory aspects of prosodic focus marking. The model demonstrates how
categorical and continuous aspects can be inte- grated in a joint theoretical
treatment that overcomes a strict separation of phonetics and phonology.
