Cues to prominence such as beat gesture and contrastive pitch accent play an important role in constraining what is remembered. However, it is currently unclear how beat gesture affects online discourse processing alone and in combination with contrastive accenting. Using an adaptation of the visual world eye-tracking paradigm, we orthogonally manipulated the presence of these cues and their felicity (match) with contrast within local (sentence-level) and global (experiment-level) referential contexts. In Experiment 1, in which beat gesture and contrastive accenting were always globally felicitous with the context of filler referring expressions, beat gesture increased anticipation of both target and competitor referents of locally infelicitous critical referring expressions differing in color and shape, whereas contrastive accenting hindered resolution of these expressions. In Experiment 2, in which beat gesture and contrastive accenting were always globally infelicitous with the context of filler referring expressions, beat gesture increased anticipation of both target and competitor referents of locally felicitous critical referring expressions contrasting in color, whereas contrastive accenting did not affect their interpretation. Taken together, these findings indicate that local and global felicity of cues to prominence with contrast affects their interpretation during online spoken discourse processing.

重音提示，如重音手势和对比重音，在限制记忆方面起着重要作用。然而，目前尚不清楚重音手势如何单独以及与对比重音结合影响在线话语处理。我们使用视觉世界眼动追踪范式的改编版，在局部（句子级）和全局（实验级）参考语境中，正交地操纵这些提示及其与对比的适宜性（匹配）。在实验 1 中，重音手势和对比重音在全局上与填充指称表达的语境始终是合适的，重音手势增加了对局部不适宜的关键指称表达的目标和竞争者指称的预期，这些关键指称表达在颜色和形状上有所不同，而对比重音则阻碍了这些表达的解析。在实验 2 中，重音手势和对比重音在全局上与填充指称表达的语境始终是不合适的，重音手势增加了对颜色上有差异的局部适宜的关键指称表达的目标和竞争者指称的预期，而对比重音则没有影响它们的解释。总的来说，这些发现表明，重音提示与对比的局部和全局适宜性影响它们在在线口语话语处理过程中的解释。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
