prosody of Hungarian complex noun phrases in focus

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This paper analyses Hungarian complex noun phrases with varying focus patterns. The results of a production study on different focus conditions show that the assumption of a main focus accent on the first syllable of the comment with following deaccentuation might be too simplistic to capture the prosodic patterns of focus in Hungarian complex NPs. The paper provides a new analysis of the different accents, their shapes, and their possible combinations at the prosody-syntax interface in LFG.
