Example sentences for: prosodic

  • They are mistakes at sentence level rather than word level; prosodic rather than lexical mistakes; mistakes of stress, intonation, and syntactic segmenting: in effect, accentuating the wrong word or syllable, modulating the pitch incorrectly (a rising rather than falling tone, say, or a questioning rather than affirming tone), and pausing in the wrong place.

  • Good day has taken on other connotations, depending on its prosodic features (stress pattern).

  • But although the sequence achieves near perfection in prosodic matching, the grammar is hardly Fry's: turning is more plausibly active than passive, with for in its familiar support-oriented role, in favor of.
