- Summary:
- This work examines a wide range of parenthetical structures, integrating their prosodic, syntactic, semantic, and discourse aspects. The analysis is couched in terms of Jackendoff's Parallel Architecture, and claims that parentheticals are not syntactic constituents of their host but are rather connected to it in discourse structure and prosody.
