Zur Untersuchung der prominenzverleihenden Funktion von Prosodie, insbesondere ihres Beitrags zur Aufmerksamkeitssteuerung, werden sowohl Prominenzbewertungen als auch elektrophysiologische Messungen bei der Perzeption verschiedener Akzenttypen im Deutschen durchgeführt. Ferner erforscht das Projekt die Tiefe der Informationsverarbeitung bei Produktion und Perzeption prosodischer Prominenz in Abhängigkeit sprachspezifischer Erwartungen auf fokalem und postfokalem Material. Dazu werden wir zwei Sprachen vergleichen, Italienisch und Deutsch, von denen angenommen wird, dass sie postfokale Elemente durch unterschiedliche Prominenzebenen markieren.
