Abstract
|
|
|
The negative sentence may have an ambiguity depending on which constituent of the sentence is negated. In case of sentence final adverbials, whether they are included in the scope of negation generates the semantic ambiguity. Since sentences with ambiguous meanings have the same word order, the differences of the meanings in different contexts should be manifested with intonational cues. This article represents how intonation contributes to the dismbiguation in negative sentences with ambiguity and which phonological/phonetic cues are specifically used in the course of the disambiguation.
Keywords: pitch accent, phrase aceent, boundary tone, scope of negation.
