Logical scope interpretation and sentence prosody exhibit intricate, yet scarcely studied interrelations across a variety of languages and constructions. Despite these observable interrelations, it is not clear whether quantifier scope by itself is able to directly affect prosodic form. Information structure is a key potential confounding factor, as it appears to richly interact both with scope interpretation and with prosodic form. To address this complication, the current study investigates, based on data from Hungarian, whether quantifier scope is expressed prosodically if information structure is kept in check. A production experiment is presented that investigates grammatically scope ambiguous doubly quantified sentences with varied focus structures, while lacking a syntactically marked topic or focus. In contrast to the information structural manipulation, which is manifest in the analysis of the acoustic data, the results reveal no prosodic effect of quantifier scope, nor the interaction of scope w...

句子韵律中的量词范围？

逻辑范围解释和句子韵律表现出复杂性，但很少研究各种语言和构造之间的相互关系。尽管存在这些可观察到的相互关系，但尚不清楚量词的范围本身是否能够直接影响韵律形式。信息结构是潜在的潜在混淆因素，因为它似乎与作用域解释和韵律形式都相互作用。为了解决这种复杂性，当前的研究基于匈牙利人的数据，调查了如果信息结构受到控制的话，量词的范围是否能恰当地表达。提出了一个生产实验，该实验研究语法范围内含不同焦点结构的含糊双量化句子，而缺少语法标记的主题或焦点。
