Mantini, Lawrence C. – Foreign Language Annals, 1980
Discusses the use of prerecorded material as an aid to learning stress-rhythm and intonation. Central to this method is that learning prosodic features is largely auto-instructional. Once study materials have been carefully chosen and assembled, and a pace of self-instruction established, students' resources assume control. (Author/PJM)

Rivara, Rene – Langues Modernes, 1976
Questions the thesis that the emphatic English "do" can only be analyzed in terms of discourse context, as opposed to sentence structure. (Text is in French.) (AM)

Cooper, Nicole; Cutler, Anne; Wales, Roger – Language and Speech, 2002
Four cross-modal priming experiments and two forced-choice identification experiments investigated the use of suprasegmental cues to stress in the recognition of spoken English words by native English speaking and nonnative (Dutch) listeners. Results are discussed. (Author/VWL)

Chafe, Wallace – Quarterly of the National Writing Project and the Center for the Study of Writing, 1988
Claims that punctuation contributes substantially to writing effectiveness. Argues that punctuation's primary function is to signal the "prosody" (patterns of pitch, stress, and hesitations) that authors have in mind when they write. Observes that a sensitivity to the sound of written language is essential for the effective use of…

Hargrove, Patricia M.; And Others – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 1989
A multiple baseline across behaviors single-subject experimental design was used to determine if selected parameters of speech prosody were modified by an intensive training program administered over nine days to a six-year-old language impaired child. The training yielded positive results indicating that prosodic skills are modifiable. (Author/DB)

Gerken, LouAnn; McIntosh, Bonnie J. – Developmental Psychology, 1993
Two experiments examined young children's sensitivity to linguistic contexts in which particular function morphemes occur. Results showed that children who did not produce articles in spontaneous speech were able to distinguish between sentences, verbally presented in picture identification tasks, that contained grammatical articles and those that…

Loeb, Diane Frome; Allen, George D. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1993
Acoustic analyses, along with perceptual ratings, measured the extent to which preschoolers imitated three modeled intonation contours (declarative, interrogative, and monotone). Results indicated that five-year-old children imitated modeled contours more frequently than did three-year-old children, with between-group differences largely because…

Caspers, Johanneke – Language and Speech, 1998
Investigated functional differences between the accent-lending rise followed by sustained level pitch (10) and combined accent-lending rise and final rise (12) in Dutch. Thirty individuals were presented with short utterances bearing either a 10 or 12 contour. Results indicated that 10 is not readily interpreted as a question, so 10 may help…

Erickson, Donna; Fujimura, Osamu; Pardo, Bryan – Language and Speech, 1998
Examined mandibular correlates of prosodic control in nonread dialog exchange involving repeated corrections. Articulatory and acoustic data were collected from four American English speakers at an x-ray laboratory, measuring jaw opening. Results suggested a local and global use of the jaw-opening gesture to produce both linguistic or…

Ford, Janet A.; Milosky, Linda M. – Discourse Processes, 1997
Examines the effects of prosodic variation (vocal affect) on the type of inferences six- and nine-year-old children made about a speaker's communicative intent. Demonstrates that children's interpretations of potentially ironic utterances were influenced by prosody, and the nature of this influence differed by age. (SR)

Whitehead, Robert L.; Schiavetti, Nicholas; Metz, Dale Evan; Gallant, Deborah; Whitehead, Brenda H. – Journal of Communication Disorders, 2000
A study investigated prosodic variables of syllable stress and intonation contours in speech produced during the simultaneous communication (SC) of ten hearing sign language users. Results indicated longer sentence duration for SC than speech only conditions. Vowel duration and frequency differences between stressed and unstressed syllables were…

Walker, Judy Perkins; Pelletier, Rebecca; Reif, Lindsay – Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics, 2004
This study examined the right hemisphere contribution to the production of linguistic prosody where acoustic features of prosodic structures in different linguistic contexts were examined accompanied by perceptual judgements. When control and right hemisphere damaged (RHD) subjects were asked to produce lexical stress differences (Experiment 1),…

Stress Regularity or Consistency? Reading Aloud Italian Polysyllables with Different Stress Patterns
Burani, Cristina; Arduino, Lisa S. – Brain and Language, 2004
Stress assignment to three- and four-syllable Italian words is not predictable by rule, but needs lexical look-up. The present study investigated whether stress assignment to low-frequency Italian words is determined by stress regularity, or by the number of words sharing the final phonological segment and the stress pattern (stress neighborhood…

Dalton, Martha; Ni Chasaide, Ailbhe – Language and Speech, 2005
A comparison of the contour alignment of nuclear and initial prenuclear accents was carried out for the Irish dialects of Gaoth Dobhair in Ulster (GD-U) and Cois Fharraige in Connaught (CF-C). This was done across conditions where the number of unstressed syllables following the nuclear and preceding the initial prenuclear accents was varied from…

Kureta, Yoichi; Fushimi, Takao; Tatsumi, Itaru F. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2006
Speech production studies have shown that the phonological form of a word is made up of phonemic segments in stress-timed languages (e.g., Dutch) and of syllables in syllable timed languages (e.g., Chinese). To clarify the functional unit of mora-timed languages, the authors asked native Japanese speakers to perform an implicit priming task (A. S.…
