Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Los Angeles, 1994.

In this dissertation I discuss methodological and theoretical problems relating to the prosodic and syntactic segmentation of conversational discourse, and to the determination of information flow. An auditorily defined prosodic phrase, the 'intonation unit', is proposed as the basic unit of analysis in the domain of prosody. I discuss and exemplify in detail the prosodic features that define this unit. In the domain of syntax, I propose a clausal unit, the 'clause construction', as the most relevant to the analysis of discourse. Clause constructions incorporate the prosodic structure of the discourse, thereby capturing a temporal aspect of language production. In the domain of discourse pragmatics, I clarify certain notions in Chafe's information flow model, which leads to a full account of problematic data. I propose the strict separation of referent-concepts and class-concepts, each of which bears its own activation status.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a In this dissertation I discuss methodological and theoretical problems relating to the prosodic and syntactic segmentation of conversational discourse, and to the determination of information flow. An auditorily defined prosodic phrase, the 'intonation unit', is proposed as the basic unit of analysis in the domain of prosody. I discuss and exemplify in detail the prosodic features that define this unit. In the domain of syntax, I propose a clausal unit, the 'clause construction', as the most relevant to the analysis of discourse. Clause constructions incorporate the prosodic structure of the discourse, thereby capturing a temporal aspect of language production. In the domain of discourse pragmatics, I clarify certain notions in Chafe's information flow model, which leads to a full account of problematic data. I propose the strict separation of referent-concepts and class-concepts, each of which bears its own activation status.
520 $a The theoretical framework I articulate is then applied to a corpus of ordinary conversational German, thereby exemplifying the notion of whole-text analysis. The separate, but parallel, analyses of basic prosodic and syntactic structure and of information flow allow for an examination of the interaction of the three represented dimensions. In this context I evaluate four previously proposed hypotheses in light of the German conversational data. All four, Du Bois' 'Given A Constraint' and 'One New Argument Constraint' and Chafe's 'Light Subject Constraint' and 'One New Idea Constraint', are strongly supported.
