Punctuation and the Prosody of Written Language.
Chafe, Wallace
Written Communication, v5 n9 p395-426 Oct 1988
Points to introspective evidence that both writers and readers experience auditory imagery of intonations, accents, and hesitations in written language. Suggests that some aspects of this "written language prosody" are made partially overt through punctuation. (RAE)
