Abstract
An experiment is presented in which British listeners indicated the naturalness of a number
of intonation contours for sentences varying in the depth of an internal boundary. The contours differed in the type of boundary marker employed. A relation was found between theoretical boundary depth and preferred intonation contour: stronger boundary markers sound natural al deeper boundaries, while at less deep boundaries it is also allowed not to mark the boundary.
