Grammaticalization of prosody in the brain
Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Paper in conference proceeding
Abstract
Based on the results from three Event-Related
Potential (ERP) studies, we show how the de-
gree of grammaticalization of prosodic features
influences their impact on syntactic and mor-
phological processing. Thus, results indicate
that only lexicalized word accents influence
morphological processing. Furthermore, it is
shown how an assumed semi-grammaticalized
left-edge boundary tone activates main clause
structure without, however, inhibiting subordi-
nate clause structure in the presence of compet-
ing syntactic cues.
