Emergence of prosodic boundary: Continuous effects of temporal affordance on inter-gestural timing

The bulk of our current knowledge about articulatory/acoustic sig that elicit discrete prosodic variation intentionally produced by through continuous variation in tempo and hypo–hyper articulatio prosodic boundaries as a means of resolving low-level tempo an of structural affordance for a prosodic boundary comes under d tion patterns of the gestures in the vicinity of this affordance comprehensively captured with the optimization-based embodie 2011), in which this phenomenon can be modeled in terms of l efficiency, perceptual clarity, and minimal duration, and the opti 70/$ see front matter & 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
