2015 Categories and gradience in intonation: A functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging study The Phonetics–Phonology Interface: Representations and methodologies, Romero, Joaquín and María Riera (eds.), pp. 259–284 | Article
The Autosegmental-Metrical framework (AM) assumes that a distinction needs to be made between linguistic phonological information (categorical) and paralinguistic phonetic information (gradient) in intonation. However, empirical evidence supporting this assumption has proved to be elusive so far.… read more
2011 The multi-facetted relation between phrasing and intonation contours in French Intonational Phrasing in Romance and Germanic: Cross-linguistic and bilingual studies, Gabriel, Christoph and Conxita Lleó (eds.), pp. 43–74 | Article

Recent proposals claim that these connections can be successfully formalized in… read more
