Pynte, Joel; Prieur, Benedicte
Language and Cognitive Processes, v11 n1-2 p165-91 Feb-Apr 1996
The role of prosodic breaks (PB) in the parsing of locally ambiguous noun phrases (NP) + verb (V) + NP + prepositional phrase (PP) was examined in four word-monitoring experiments. Results indicate that PBs can influence sentence parsing. The article discusses possible mechanisms in the framework of two models. (32 references) (Author/CK)
