INVESTIGATING THE SYNTAX-PROSODY INTERFACE: INSIGHTS FROM A CORPUS-BASED APPROACH
Alexey Golubev , Lomonosov Moscow State University, RussiaAbstract
This study delves into the intricate relationship between syntax and prosody, employing a corpus-based approach to uncover patterns and interactions within natural language. By analyzing a diverse linguistic corpus, we identify how syntactic structures influence prosodic features such as intonation, stress, and rhythm. Our findings highlight key areas where syntax-prosody alignment occurs and provide new insights into the underlying principles governing this interface. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of language processing and have implications for linguistic theory, speech synthesis, and language teaching. This research underscores the importance of integrating syntactic and prosodic analysis to achieve a comprehensive understanding of spoken language.
