The Role of Prosody in Language Processing and Its Neural Mechanisms
韵律在语言加工中的作用及其神经机制

This paper reviewed a mount of research using on-line methods on prosody processing in recent years.Firstly,the role of prosody on sentence comprehension was analyzed,including the role of stress,prosodic boundaries,and prosody units on sentence processing.Secondly,the brain mechanisms for the prosody processing were discussed.Although different hypotheses,such as functional hypothesis and acoustic hypothesis,are competing,none of which can account for all the range of experimental data.Finally,it was put f...
