Remapping syntax–prosody mapping : The intonational phrase as the unit of discourse–prosody mapping

Poster presented at the Workshop on Intonation at the crossroads (CROSSIN)This study revisits arguments for and against the mapping of syntactic clauses to intonational phrases (ι) and argues that the clause–ι mapping is only apparent, and hence should be eliminated from the syntax–prosody mapping. Instead, it will be proposed that the ι is more directly related to discourse-related units, namely, speech acts.
