This study examines the production and perception of Intonational Phrase (IP) boundaries. In particular, it investigates (1) whether the articulatory events that occur at IP boundaries can exhibit temporal distinctions that would indicate a difference in degree of disjuncture, and (2) to what extent listeners are sensitive to the effects of such differences among IP boundaries. Two experiments investigate these questions. An articulatory kinematic experiment examines the effects of structural differences between IP boundaries on the production of those boundaries. In a perception experiment listeners then evaluate the strength of the junctures occurring in the utterances produced in the production study. The results of the studies provide support for the existence of prosodic strength differences among IP boundaries and also demonstrate a close link between the production and perception of prosodic boundaries. The results are discussed in the context of possible linguistic structural explanations, with implications for cognitive accounts for the creation, implementation, and processing of prosody.
