  • Do Persian Native Speakers Prosodically Mark Wh-in-situ Questions

    Open AccessZohreh Shiamizadeh, Johanneke Caspers et al.ARTICLELanguage and Speech2019References: 42

    It has been shown that prosody contributes to the contrast between declarativity and interrogativity, notably in interrogative utterances lacking lexico-syntactic features of interrogativity. Accordingly, it may be proposed that prosody plays a role in marking wh-in-situ questions in which the interrogativity feature (the wh-phrase) does not move to sentence-initial position, as, for example, in Persian. This paper examines whether prosody distin…

  • The Role of Prosody in the Identification of Persian Sentence Types

    Zohreh Shiamizadeh, Johanneke Caspers et al.ARTICLELinguistics Vanguard2017

    It has been reported that prosody contributes to the identification of utterances which lack lexico-syntactic indicators of interrogativity but do have characteristic prosodic correlates (e.g. Vion and Colas 2006. Pitch cues for the recognition of yes-no questions in French. Journal of Psycholinguistics Research 35. 427–445). In Persian wh-in-situ questions, the interrogativity device (the wh-phrase) does not move to the sentence-initial position…

  • Deaccentuation in Dutch as a second language

    Open AccessJohanneke Caspers, Evelyn Bosma et al.ARTICLELinguistics in the Netherlands2012

    A non-native accent in a second language is usually not restricted to the segmental domain — consonants and vowels — but is also noticeable in the suprasegmental domain, which includes phenomena such as word stress and sentence accent. The central question in this paper is whether advanced non-native speakers of Dutch produce pitch accent errors as a result of deaccentuation of given information in ‘verum focus’ sentences (‘... but I don’t READ b…

  • Experiments on the Meaning of Four Types of Single-Accent Intonation Patterns in Dutch

    Open AccessJohanneke CaspersARTICLELanguage and Speech2000Cited by: 2References: 29

    The Grammar of Dutch Intonation (GDI) provides a description of the possible intonation contours of Dutch. The GDI distinguishes accent-lending and nonaccent-lending pitch configurations, but refrains from further functional statements. This paper describes an experimental attempt to verify meaning hypotheses for four Dutch single-accent pitch patterns as postulated in the linguistic literature. The four pitch accent types were realized on proper…

  • Who's Next? The Melodic Marking of Question vs. Continuation in Dutch

    Open AccessJohanneke CaspersARTICLELanguage and Speech1998Cited by: 8References: 30

    The present study is concerned with functional differences between the accent-lending rise followed by sustained level pitch (GDI-notation “1Ø,” cf., 't Hart, Collier, and Cohen, 1990) and the combination of the accent-lending rise and final rise (“12”) in Dutch. Theoretical analyses of the meaning of Dutch intonation claim that “1Ø” can be interpreted as a question. In contrast, recent investigations of the relevance of intonation for turn-takin…
