Research on the exploitation of prosodic information in the comprehension of spoken language is reviewed. The research falls into three main areas: the use of prosody in the recognition of spoken words, in which most attention has been paid to the question of whether the prosodic structure of a word plays a role in initial activation of stored lexical representations; the use of prosody in the computation of syntactic structure, in which the resolution of global and local ambiguities has formed the central focus; and the role of prosody in the processing of discourse structure, in which there has been a preponderance of work on the contribution of accentuation and deaccentuation to integration of concepts with an existing discourse model. The review reveals that in each area progress has been made towards new conceptions of prosody's role in processing, and in particular this has involved abandonment of previously held deterministic views of the relationship between prosodic structure and other aspects of linguistic structure.
本文综述了关于在口语理解中利用韵律信息的研究。该研究主要分为三个领域：韵律在口语单词识别中的应用，其中大部分注意力集中在单词的韵律结构是否在存储词汇表征的初始激活中起作用这一问题上；韵律在句法结构计算中的应用，其中全局和局部歧义的解决一直是核心关注点；以及韵律在语篇结构处理中的作用，其中关于重音和非重音对概念与现有语篇模型整合的贡献的研究占主导地位。综述表明，在每个领域，关于韵律在处理过程中的作用都有了新的认识，特别是这涉及到摒弃先前对韵律结构与语言结构其他方面关系的确定性观点。
