  • Title: The transmission of meaning by prosodic phrasing. A comparison of French with english and german using no ls and hs.
    Author: Kohler KJ.
    Journal: Phonetica; 2010; 67(1-2):100-24. PubMed ID: 20798572.
    Abstract:
    This paper examines the relationship between phonetic exponents of syntagmatic prosodic structuring and functions in speech communication in English, German, and French. Two strands are distinguished in this substance-function relation: the transmission of semantic structures in propositional, appellative, and expressive meaning, and the facilitation of this transfer from sender to receiver by rhythmic organization. Bundles of several weighted feature values contribute to the signalling of hierarchies of prosodic phrasing to map semantic and rhythmic structures for communicative effect. French and the Germanic languages differ more specifically in the rhythmic strand.
