Concurrent processing of the prosodic hierarchy is supported by cortical entrainment and phase-amplitude coupling (Oderbolz, Stark, Sauppe, Meyer), Cerebral Cortex

Models of phonology posit a hierarchy of prosodic units that is relatively independent from syntactic structure, requiring its own parsing.
Our EEG-study investigates the role of complex oscillatory mechanisms in configuring the continuous and hierarchical nature of the speech signal and situate prosody as a structure indispensable from theoretical perspectives on spoken language comprehension in the brain.
