| Abstract | In two experiments with 22 undergraduates, syntax and prosody were varied independently to assess their contributions to the phonetic interpretation of silences at boundaries coinciding with the interval that cues the /s/c/ distinction. Results indicate that the local prosodic pattern can be sufficient to influence perceptions of this distinction and suggest that prosodic information may be subject to context effects. |
