Prosody is strongly influenced by situational variation along
conceptional parameters, such as the degree of communicative
collaboration, the degree of dialogicity, the degree of planning,
or the degree of familiarity between partners. Prosodic research,
however, still focuses more on decontextualized "prosodic grammars"
than on prosodic variation itself. This book, which gathers
contributions from the "Prosody and conceptional variation" panel
at the Deutscher Romanistentag held in 2017 in Zurich, tackles
methodological and theoretical issues of this interplay. Based on
empirical analysis of a wide range of communicative situations, the
book shows how phonetic, pragmatic, textual, and interactional
perspectives can help to better understand how prosodic features
and communicative settings are interrelated.
There is currently a wealth of activity involving the analysis of
complex segmental sequences from phonetic, phonological and
psycholinguistic perspectives. This volume draws from selected
contributions to the conference Consonant Clusters and Structural
Complexity held in Munich in August 2008. Consonant sequences,
whether occurring within individual lexical items or emerging in
running speech at word boundaries, give particularly striking
evidence for the temporal complexity of human speech. But
contributions also consider the integration of tonal and vocalic
elements into syllable structure. The main aim of the volume is to
do justice to this complexity by bringing together researchers from
a wide range of backgrounds. The book is organized into four main
sections entitled 'Phonology and Typology', 'Production: Analysis
and Models', 'Acquisition', and 'Assimilation and reduction in
connected speech'.
