DESCRIPTION:This talk will be a work-in-progress report of my MA thesis d
 ealing with how prosody relates to and informs chunking phenomena. Even 
 though prosodic features\, such as intonation\, pauses and stress\, natu
 rally group items together in spoken language\, the focus of studies con
 cerned with chunking is often on analyzing transcribed spoken language\,
  e.g.\, the spoken parts of COCA or the BNC (for English)\, and not the 
 analysis of actual audio recordings. Furthermore\, few studies have deal
 t with prosody and chunking from a diachronic perspective. \nThis talk a
 ims to give insight into chunking phenomena from both a synchronic and a
  diachronic perspective by analyzing data from two comparable data sets\
 , the London-Lund-Corpus 1 (containing prosodically annotated spoken Eng
 lish from the 1960s and 1970s) and the London-Lund Corpus 2 (a spoken co
 rpus with audio from the 2010s). The examples that will be discussed are
  "sort of/kind of/ type of"-constructions (showing the connection betwee
 n phonetic reduction and grammaticalization)\, the "time"-compounds "eve
 ry time" and "any time" (showing stress shifts and grammaticalization)\,
  and the "thing is is that" construction (showing the connection between
  syntactic reanalysis and the shifting of boundary tones).
