The Role of Intonation in Processing Left and Right Dislocations in French.
Vion, Monique
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v53 n1 p45-71 Feb 1992
The effects of intonation morphemes on the processing of simple reversible sentences containing a dislocated element were studied using synthetic speech stimuli. Both child and adult subjects processed the sentences better when they retained standard subject-verb-object order, suggesting that the morphemes serve as processing instructions. Contains 39 references. (Author/LB)
