Based on the analysis of corpus data, this paper investigates the prosodic phrasing of the Icelandic parenthetical comment clause (CC) held eg (‘believe/think I’; I think, I believe) and relates the results to current prosodic theory. The main findings are as follows. (i) A variety of intonational phrasing patterns is possible with CCheld eg, allowing both for prosodic separation such that the CC is phrased in its own Intonational Phrase (IP), and prosodic integration, such that the CC is phrased in one IP with surrounding material. (ii) Prosodic integration is by far the more common pattern. (iii) The prosodic phrasing of CCs is related to their meaning via prominence. In particular, CCs which can be argued to have conventional implicatures (CI) semantics are prosodically prominent and phrased separately; CCs whose primary function is one of mitigation are unstressed and integrated. (iv) The observed intonational phrasing patterns can be accounted for in terms of the interaction of the syntax-prosody interface constraint Match clause with prosodic markedness constraints

自发口语中括号评论从句的韵律措辞：来自冰岛海德的证据

本文基于对语料库数据的分析，研究了冰岛括号注释子句（CC）的韵律措辞，例如（“相信/认为我”；我认为，我相信），并将结果与​​当前的韵律理论联系起来。主要发现如下。(i) CCheld 可以有多种语调分句模式，例如，既允许韵律分离，以便 CC 以其自己的语调短语 (IP) 来表达，也允许韵律整合，以便 CC 在一个 IP 中与周围的语调材料。(ii) 韵律整合是迄今为止更常见的模式。(iii) CC 的韵律措辞通过突出与它们的意义相关。特别是，可以被认为具有传统含义 (CI) 语义的 CCs 在韵律上很突出并且单独表达；主要功能之一是缓解的 CC 是无压力和集成的。(iv) 观察到的语调短语模式可以根据句法-韵律接口约束匹配子句与韵律标记约束的相互作用来解释
