Non-local effects of prosodic boundaries
|
|
|
|
Abstract:
Placing a prosodic boundary before a phrase may influence its syntactic analysis. However, the effect of the boundary depends on the presence, size, and position of other, earlier, prosodic boundaries (Carlson et al., 2001, Clifton et al., 2002). Three experiments are reported that extend previous results about the effect of the position of the early boundary. In sentences where a final phrase may modify either a local verb or an earlier verb, a boundary immediately after the first verb leads to more first verb attachments than when the earlier boundary is placed in some other position between the first verb and the local verb (Experiments 1,2). This effect cannot be attributed to weaker effects of more distant boundaries (Experiment 2), but is likely due to the first verb being more prominent when a boundary immediately follows it, since similar effects are observed when the verb is accented (Experiment 3). The results further support the Informative Boundary hypothesis, and show that the impact of earlier, nonlocal boundaries is not fully uniform.
