Marfo, Charles Ofosu – 2002
This paper discusses the phonology-syntax interface in Akan, a language spoken in Ghana and the Cote d'Ivoire, describing a medium of exchange between phonology and syntax. Studies in lexical phonology have distinguished two levels in phonology--lexical and post-lexical--based on how and where phonological rules apply, although some phonological…

Hall, Richard W. – English Journal, 1973
A literary style intent on relating the written word to sound via word length, rhythm, stress, and intonation, has produced a new phonic literature related to the needs of the present. (MM)

Batstone, Susan; Tuomi, Seppo K. – Language and Speech, 1981
Male and females listeners rated 21 young female voices on seven scales representing unique vocal features. Voices were described as "passive", or traditionally female, and "active," characterized as "lively,""colorful," and "sexy." Females found active characteristics more salient; males preferred the passive characteristics. Implications for…

Wheeler, Cathy J.; Schumsky, Donald, A. – Glossa, 1980
The results of three experiments investigating where native speakers have a morpheme boundary between stems and word-final English derivational suffixes are reported. The way speakers organize phonological data is demonstrated. The results challenge the generative phonological hypothesis of maximal generalization and assumptions concerning…

Berkovits, Rochele – Language and Speech, 1980
Indicates that native and nonnative speakers alike can make use of intonation if they explicitly listen for it, although prosodic features are generally ignored when other cues (semantic and pragmatic) are available. (Author/RL)

Leon, Pierre – Francais dans le Monde, 1979
Reviews theoretical models which can serve to analyze speech, especially on the level of "phonostylistics." (AM)

Bertrand, Yves – Langues Modernes, 1976
A study of the relationship between intonation and syntax must consider communication as a whole, rather than isolated sentences. This study examines the role of the speakers in communication, bilateral and unilateral communication, and some pedagogical implications of this study. (Text is in French.) (AM)

James, Allen R. – Linguistik und Didaktik, 1977
In foreign language classes, intonation is taught using as a basis for comparison the intonation of the standard dialect of the native language. It is argued here that the learner's native dialect should be used instead. Examples are given of transfer from Swabian dialect to English. (Text is in German.) (IFS/WGA)

Hargrove, Patricia M. – Topics in Language Disorders, 1997
Discusses reasons for including prosody in the management of language impairment in children and presents a classification framework that includes four categories of prosodic problems: dysprosody (pitch, loudness, duration, and pausing), prosodic disability (tempo, intonation, stress, and rhythm), prosodic disturbance (interaction disruption), and…

Bullock, Barbara E. – Journal of French Language Studies, 1997
Analysis of the quantitative metrical verse of French Renaissance poet Jean-Antoine de Baif finds that the metrics, often seen as unscannable and using an incomprehensible phonetic orthography, derive largely from a system that is accentual, with the orthography permitting the poet to encode quantitative distinctions that coincide with the meter.…

Shriberg, Lawrence D.; Widder, Carol J. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1990
Analysis of speech samples of 40 noninstitutionalized persons (ages 20-50) with mental retardation found that speech and prosody status were not statistically associated with gender or gross level of mental retardation but were associated with estimated probability of independent living. The existence of a cognitive capacity constraint and a…

Fernald, Anne – Child Development, 1989
Explored the power of intonation of speech addressed to adults and preverbal infants to convey meaningful information to 80 adult listeners. Listeners used intonation to identify speaker's intent with greater accuracy in infant-directed speech than adult-directed speech. (RJC)

Yip, Moira – Journal of East Asian Linguistics, 1992
Yanggu, Anxiang, and Yuanyang diminutives and Cantonese familiar name formation are examined in the light of recent understanding about the role of prosodic categories in phonology and morphology. The results lend strong support to the growing body of research in prosodic morphology, especially the pioneering work of McCarthy and Prince. (52…

Hurley, Daniel Sean – Applied Linguistics, 1992
After setting definitions of pragmatics, prosody, and nonverbal communication, this paper reviews politeness theories and research in these fields, discussing their implications for teaching. It is posited that learners whose first language and native culture are more similar to the target language (TL) and culture are more likely to experience TL…

Samuelsson, Christina; Nettelbladt, Ulrika – International Journal of Language and Communication Disorders, 2004
Background: Symptoms of prosodic problems have been found in Swedish children with language impairment at word and phrase level and possibly also at discourse level. Aims: The aim was twofold. First, to characterize a group of children with prosodic problems compared with children with normal language development. Second, to investigate the…
