Cue-weighting in processing of prosodic boundaries in Dutch
The dataset 'Cue-weighting in Processing of Prosodic Boundaries in Dutch' is part of a PhD project on the development of prosodic phrasing before birth and in the first year of life. This project contributes to the broader research initiative 'SoundStart', which investigates early prosodic development. This specific study examined how adult native speakers of Dutch process intonational phrase (IP) boundaries, focusing on the weighting of different prosodic cues. Using EEG, we explored the neurophysiological response to prosodic boundaries, the Closure Positive Shift (CPS), under various cue conditions. EEG recordings were obtained from 30 adult native Dutch speakers while they listened to sequences of names connected by the coordinating conjunction 'en' (“and”), such as: "Moni en Lilli en Manu". These sequences were presented with or without an IP boundary following the second name, with the boundaries marked by various combinations of prosodic cues. The dataset includes raw EEG data, stimulus files, experimental scripts, statistical analysis scripts and experiment documentation. For further information and detailed findings, see: Geutjes et al.
