The results help us to decide between different models of German prosody. The absence of pitch height difference on the accent of the sentence speaks in favor of a relative model of prosody, in which accents are scaled relative to each other, and against models in which pitch accents are scaled in an absolute way. The results also speak for a model in which syntax, but not information structure, influences the prosodic phrasing. Finally, perception experiments show that the prosodic structure of sentences with a marked word order needs to be presented for grammaticality judgments. Presentation of written material only is not enough, and falsifies the results.}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-1537, title = {Interdisciplinary studies on information structure : ISIS ; Working papers of the SFB 632. - Vol. 10}, editor = {Ishihara, Shinichiro and Schwarz, Anne}, issn = {1866-4725}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-16929}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, year = {2008}, abstract = {The 10th volume of the working paper series contains two papers contributed by SFB-members.
