The variability in the encoding and decoding of prosodic prominence depends not only on linguistic factors (e.g. cue-trading) and individual factors (e.g. perspective-taking abilities), but also on the concrete situational context in which it is studied (e.g. task requirements). We will focus on prominence usage in dyadic interactions to disentangle different sources of variability, and to investigate the cognitive processes and underlying neurobiological mechanisms employed.
