Evaluating heaviness: Relative weight in the spoken production of heavy-NP shift.
Stallings, Lynne Marie.

Evaluating heaviness: Relative weight in the spoken production of heavy-NP shift. - 179 p.

Adviser: Maryellen C. MacDonald.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Southern California, 1998.

Heavy-NP shift is the tendency for speakers to place long or "heavy" noun phrase direct objects at the end of a sentence rather than in the canonical post-verbal position. The precise nature of heaviness that motivates this tendency, however, varies throughout the linguistic literature and depends more on the nature of the theoretical assumptions underlying each proposal. Evidence for a performance-motivated account of heavy-NP shift is provided and a multi-factor account of the spoken production of heavy-NP shift is considered. A single-factor account of weight is challenged by the influential role of verbs on the production of heavy-NP shift structures. Results from three production experiments using a constrained production paradigm confirm that it is the relative weight between the NP and its neighboring constituent, not the length, complexity, or some property of the noun phrase alone, that influences the ordering of the noun phrase and prepositional phrase during spoken production.
