研究者假设语义上高度相关的词更有可能出现在同一个语调短语中（F。zzaq;，1988; E. O.塞尔柯克，1984年）。D.沃森和E.吉布森（2004）提出，语义接近可以通过使用论元/附加语的区别来捕捉，这样语调边界更可能出现在论元之前而不是论元之前。在当前的实验中，作者比较了论证的两个方面：语义相关性和强制性。在一项产出研究中，如果依存关系是可选的，说话者更有可能在单词和依存关系之间放置语调短语边界（例如，在“记者对[坠机]的调查使官员们感到不安”中的“调查”之后），而不是如果家属是强制性的（例如，在“记者调查了[坠机事件]，这让官员们感到不安”中的“调查”之后）。这些数据表明，强制性是一个更好的预测语调边界的位置比语义接近。
Researchers have hypothesized that words that are highly related semantically are more likely to occur within the same intonational phrase (F. zzaq;, 1988; E. O. Selkirk, 1984). D. Watson and E. Gibson (2004) proposed that semantic closeness can be captured by using the argument/adjunct distinction, such that intonational boundaries are more likely to occur before adjuncts than before arguments. In the current experiment, the authors compared two aspects of argumenthood: semantic relatedness and obligatoriness. In a production study, speakers were more likely to place an intonational phrase boundary between a word and a dependent if the dependent was optional (e.g., after "investigation" in "The reporter's investigation [of the crash] unnerved the officials") than if the dependent was obligatory (e.g., after "investigated" in "The reporter investigated [the crash], and this unnerved the officials"). These data suggest that obligatoriness is a better predictor of intonational boundary placement than semantic closeness.
