We investigate the relationship between prosodic phrase boundaries in terms of pausing and the linguistic structure on morphosyntactic and discourse levels in spontaneous dialogues as well as in read aloud speech in Swedish.

In the present study, we sought to determine whether masked primes activate feature representations in reading aloud using a vari...
