Prosody Interaction with Speech Planning and Comprehension, a Survey of Interesting Effects in the Literature
Original language description
Prosody is often treated as a peripheral, emotional embellish- ment of the linguistic signal, yet an increasing body of work reveals that it is involved in many aspects of language processing. This paper surveys multiple lines of evidence. First, research on speech planning shows that speakers do not merely assemble syntax and then append word‐forms, but instead they construct a prosodic skeleton before lexical material is fully specified. Second, comprehension studies demonstrate that listeners ex- ploit prosodic cues to resolve syntactic ambiguities well before the utter- ance is complete, and that even silent readers project a default prosodic contour onto text, influencing ambiguity resolution in the absence of any acoustic signal. Interestingly, the same sentence can elicit different prosodic contours in different languages, as evidenced by research on the Slavonic language of Croatian, among others. Together, these findings suggest that prosodic structure should be treated more as a fundamental, rather than complemental feature of language.
