Parentheticals in Spoken English: The Syntax-Prosody Relation - Studies in English Language
Dehe, Nicole (Universitat Konstanz, Germany)
Parentheticals have traditionally been assumed to lie outside the syntactic structure of the clause in which they are embedded, and in spoken English their external nature is marked by a difference in intonation. This study re-examines parentheticals and argues that they actually operate at the syntax-prosody interface.
