Discourse, Syntax, and Prosody: The Brain Reveals an Immediate Interaction
Speech is structured into parts by syntactic and prosodic breaks. In locally syntactic ambiguous sentences, the detection of a syntactic break necessarily follows detection of a corresponding prosodic break, making an investigation of the immediate interplay of syntactic and prosodic information impossible when studying sentences in isolation. This problem can be solved, however, by embedding s...
متن کاملDisfluency and discursive markers: when prosody and syntax plan discourse
Hesitations, interruptions within phrases or within words are common in spontaneous speech. Those phenomena are widely known to be observable from a prosodic point of view through disfluencies. From a syntactic point of view, many studies already established that discursive markers such as hm, oh, I mean, etc. are representative of spontaneous speech. In this study, we demonstrate through a joi...
متن کاملSyntax coordination: interaction of discourse and extrapositions
The model presented here for parsing spoken German o ers a way to proceed incrementally discontinuous constructions. Typical constructions in task oriented dialogs are Extrapositions to the right. These are dened as syntactical constructions where a constituent is extraposed in the Nachfeld. Basing on the assumption that the extraposed constituent is not part of the source sentence the model wo...
متن کاملProsody, Syntax and Parsing
We describe the modification of a grammar to take advantage of prosodic information provided by a speech recognition system. This initial study is limited to the use of relative duration of phonetic segments in the assignment of syntactic structure, specifically in ruling out alternative parses in otherwise ambiguous sentences. Taking advantage of prosodic information in parsing can make a spok...
متن کامل"Prosody and Syntax"
[1] Introduction: We would like to argue in this paper, first, that in order to make syntactic tests for scope interpretation of wh-questions in Japanese repeatable, we must take prosody into consideration. Second, we propose that focused wh-phrases come to be associated with some formal feature showing up in a higher functional projection at LF, which is distinct from any version of wh-movemen...
