The Economic Journal, 2011 We investigate three ways in which firms can become "prominent" and thereby influence the order in which consumers consider options. First, firms can affect an intermediary's sales efforts by means of commission payments. When firms pay commission to a salesman, the salesman promotes the product with the highest commission, and steers ignorant ...

Vowel-initial glottalization as a prominence cue in speech perception and online processing
Laboratory Phonology, 2023 Three experiments examined the relevance of vowel-initial glottalization in the perception of vowel contrasts in American English, in light of the claimed prominence-marking function of glottalization in word-initial vowels.

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1998 AbstractThe kinematics and dynamics of prominence eruptions are reviewed and different phases of the eruption are identified. The properties of the equation of motion in these phases are shown. The morphology of the prominence prior and during the eruption is described and the implications to the MHD description of the process are discussed.
