A01 - Intonation and attention orienting: Neurophysiological and behavioural correlates

The project is concerned with the role of pitch rises in attention orienting, focusing on (i) the position of a pitch rise in relation to prosodic structure, (ii) the rise trajectory, and (iii) the role of the rise within a larger domain. ERP and mouse-tracking studies, prominence ratings, working memory tasks and acoustic analyses of production data will shed light on the cognitive and functional contribution of rises to prominence.
