Prosodic and Syntactic Factors in the Phonetic Realization of Function Words in American English
Abstract
dc:descriptionFunction (i.e., grammatical) words very frequently lack word-level stress and display phonetic reduction relative to content (i.e., lexical) words. However, word-class (function vs. content) may not be the only factor that affects phonetic realization of function words; prosodic and syntactic context can also play a significant role in conditioning phonetic reduction and strengthening of function words.
