Provided abstract: This poster investigates the mapping between syntax and prosody, with "either…or…" sentences as a critical case study. There are two competing syntactic analyses for "either...or..." sentences. I present adjudicating evidence from a prosodic experiment, where prosodic boundaries in people's utterances are consistent with the predictions of one theory but not the other. I also argue that prosodic structure reflects syntactic structure more closely than some theories on mapping previously claimed. --------------------------------------------- ## Additional Notes Links: - https://sites.google.com/view/wccfl2021/ This presentation is part of the 2021 West Coast Conference on Formal Linguistics collection, which is available here: https://doi.org/10.25422/azu.data.c.5325401
