Taking both an empirical and a theoretical view of the prosodic
phrasing of parentheticals in English, this book reviews the
syntactic and prosodic literature on parentheticals along with
relevant theoretical work at the syntax-prosody interface. It
offers a detailed prosodic analysis of six types of parentheticals
- full parenthetical clauses, non-restrictive relative clauses,
nominal appositions, comment clauses, reporting verbs, and question
tags, all taken from the spoken part of the British Component of
the International Corpus of English. To date, the common assumption
is that, by default, parentheticals are prosodically phrased
separately, an assumption which, as this study shows, is not always
in line with the predictions made by current prosodic theory. The
present study provides new empirical evidence for the prosodic
phrasing of parentheticals in spontaneous and semi-spontaneous
spoken English, and offers new implications for a theory of
linguistic interfaces.
