Primes¶
- Rhythm
- Prosodic rhythm disambiguates structure ("a lighthouse keeper" vs. "a light housekeeper"), signals emotion, and marks information focus by where stress and pausing fall.
This sourceReview of prosodic rhythm in speech: stress and pausing disambiguate syntactic structure, signal information focus, and guide lexical access, with stress-timed and syllable-timed languages organizing the rhythmic frame differently.

Domain-specific¶
- Prosody
- The syntax-prosody interface — the mapping between syntactic constituency and prosodic constituency — is bidirectional and imperfect in both directions: syntactic structure does not uniquely determine prosodic structure, and prosodic structure is used by listeners as one cue (among several) to syntactic structure during online sentence processing
This sourceA review of prosody in spoken-language comprehension, including its use in computing syntactic structure, concluding that the relation between prosodic and other linguistic structure is not deterministic.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
