Draga Zec presented a paper titled on “Tone and stress in loanword phonology as minimal constraint re-ranking" at Interslavic: Internationalisms in Slavic as a window into the architecture of grammar (INTERSLAVIC 2021), University of Graz, held virtually February 24-26, 2021

PhD candidate Seung-Eun Kim presented a poster titled: "Phonetic evidence for categorical differences in prosodic structure" at the 179th meeting of the Acoustical Society of America, held Dec 7-11, 2020

Her poster described  experimental phonetic evidence for categorically distinct prosodic structures associated with two types of relative clauses in English. 

Most of the phonetic measures showed a significant difference between the two syntactic structures, which provides some evidence for distinct prosodic categories.  However, a non-linearity analyses in both structures showed weak evidence for categorical variation in prosodic structure.

Grad Student Seung-Eun Kim presented a paper titled:  "The effects of speech rate on the phonetic correlates of syntactic structure" at the 95th Annual Meeting of the Linguistic Society of America (LSA 2022), held Jan 6-9, 2021.

Here is the abstract for her paper:

This study provides empirical evidence that speakers make prosodic contrasts to mark different syntactic structures.

This finding is obtained by examining articulatory and acoustic measures at prosodic boundaries in two types of English relative clauses, non-restrictive relative clauses (NRRC) and restrictive relative clauses (RRC).

Crucially, in examining their difference, the present study uses a moving visual analogue and elicits continuous variation in speech rate.

With this method, the study additionally shows that the prosodic contrasts which cue differences in syntactic structure are neutralized at fast speech rates.
