Exploring the Prosody-Syntax Interface in Conversations
The goal of this study is to investigate the structuring of speech in terms of prosodic boundaries in spontaneous dialogues in Swedish. In particular, the relation between boundaries as perceived by listeners, and their acoustic and linguistic realizations as uttered by speakers is examined.
متن کاملSecond Position and the Prosody-syntax Interface
Bögel et al. (2009) outlined a new architecture for modeling the interaction between prosody and syntax: we proposed an arrangement of interacting components in which prosodic information is developed in a module that operates independently of the syntax while still allowing for syntactic rules and preferences to be conditioned on prosodic boundaries and other features. This architecture allows...
متن کاملAlternative Questions in the Syntax-Semantics Interface
This paper deals with alternative questions in English, and proposes an analysis employing an alternative operator. I claim that the alternative question interpretation is not obtained by such syntactic processes as movement or gapping, but by scoping of an alternative operator that originates from the conjunction or. Accordingly, while the syntactic forms of alternative questions contain nothi...
متن کاملA Dynamic Syntax-Semantics Interface
The relation between syntax and semantics of natural language can be regarded as a constraint. With the ideas from Channel Theory (Barwise 1993, Barwise and Seligman 1994), the way that an utterance represents a situation can be captured as a linguistic channel. To study the operational aspects of such a channel, we construct it as a system of communicating processes by turning to the -calculus...
متن کاملPsychological Predicates and the Syntax-semantics Interface
The hypothesis of the autonomy of syntax makes special demands on one of the central issues in linguistic theory: the specification of correspondences between a lexical conceptual and syntactic structure. One strategy is to distinguish several layers of lexical representation and allow only one of them to be "visible" to syntactic and morphological processes (cf. Pinker 1989, Grimshaw 1990). A ...
