Stability of prosodic boundary cue production in interactive settingsOSF
Prosodic boundaries are used to disambiguate structurally ambiguous sentences by signaling how words or phrases group together. However, it remains debated whether prosodic boundary production is situationally adaptive (listener-oriented) or a by product

Auditory-perceptual acuity impacts prosodic boundary prediction in a gating task
Processing of prosodic phrasing requires listeners to integrate acoustic cues that unfold incrementally during speech comprehension, yet substantial individual differences exist in how listeners use unfolding prosodic information. This study investigated

Many languages allow flexible word orders, and how humans parse and comprehend them has been one of the central questions in psycholinguistics. Mounting evidence has suggested that not only syntactic factors (e.g., the formation of a filler–gap ...
