Abstract

In a production and perception experiment this paper investigates the prosody of object clause embedding in German. The prosodic pattern found separates the object clause from the (longer) matrix clause by an intonation phrase break. The matrix verb is stressed. The discussion addresses the interaction of movement and phrasal stress.
