Multimodal prosody: gestures and speech in the perception of prominence in Spanish [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Communication
Multimodal communication cannot be properly understood without analyzing the natural interweaving of speech and gestures as it typically occurs in everyday spoken language, thus moving beyond studies that elicit gestures in the laboratory, most of which ...

Effect of evaluative expressions on two types of demonstrative pronouns in German

open access: yesGlossa, 2023
We propose a unified prominence-based account of the two paradigms of demonstrative pronouns in German: the die- and diese-paradigm. The two types of demonstrative pronouns have been shown to have similar referential preferences — avoiding the most ...

Vowel-initial glottalization as a prominence cue in speech perception and online processing

open access: yesLaboratory 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.

Prosodic Prominence in Polar Questions and Exclamatives

open access: yesFrontiers in Communication, 2020
This study investigates prosodic prominence in string-identical verb-first exclamatives and questions in German. It presents results from three production experiments comparing polar exclamatives/questions with different finite verbs [auxiliary, lexical ...

Speed-Accuracy Tradeoffs in Brain and Behavior: Testing the Independence of P300 and N400 Related Processes in Behavioral Responses to Sentence Categorization

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019
Although the N400 was originally discovered in a paradigm designed to elicit a P300 (Kutas and Hillyard, 1980), its relationship with the P300 and how both overlapping event-related potentials (ERPs) determine behavioral profiles is still elusive.

Prominence Eruptions [PDF]

open access: yesInternational 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.

The Processing of Linguistic Prominence [PDF]

open access: yesLanguage and Speech, 2019
Prominence, the expression of informational weight within utterances, can be signaled by prosodic highlighting ( head-prominence, as in English) or by position (as in Korean edge-prominence). Prominence confers processing advantages, even if conveyed only by discourse manipulations. Here we compared processing of prominence in English and Korean, using

The perception of prominence: a Rapid Prosody Transcription study with Estonian listeners

open access: yesEesti ja Soome-ugri Keeleteaduse Ajakiri, 2019
This study investigates the effect of different prosodic variables (e.g., pitch, syllable duration, presence of pitch accent and intonation boundary) and non-prosodic variables (e.g., type of verbal argument, presence of clause boundary, part-of-speech ...
