Parentheticals in spoken English : the syntax prosody relation / Nicole Dehé, University of Konstanz.

Call Number	425
Author	Dehé, Nicole, author.
Title	Parentheticals in spoken English : the syntax prosody relation / Nicole Dehé, University of Konstanz.
Physical Description	1 online resource (viii, 250 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).
Series	Studies in English language
Notes	Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).
Contents	1. Parentheticals in English: introduction -- 2. The syntax and prosody of parentheticals -- 3. Parentheticals, intonational phrasing and prosodic theory -- 4. Data analysis, results and discussion -- 5. Final discussion.
Summary	Taking both an empirical and a theoretical view of the prosodic phrasing of parentheticals in English, this book reviews the syntactic and prosodic literature on parentheticals along with relevant theoretical work at the syntax-prosody interface. It offers a detailed prosodic analysis of six types of parentheticals - full parenthetical clauses, non-restrictive relative clauses, nominal appositions, comment clauses, reporting verbs, and question tags, all taken from the spoken part of the British Component of the International Corpus of English. To date, the common assumption is that, by default, parentheticals are prosodically phrased separately, an assumption which, as this study shows, is not always in line with the predictions made by current prosodic theory. The present study provides new empirical evidence for the prosodic phrasing of parentheticals in spontaneous and semi-spontaneous spoken English, and offers new implications for a theory of linguistic interfaces.
Subject	English language Parenthetical constructions. Grammar, Comparative and general Parenthetical constructions. English language Spoken English. English language Syntax.
