    <Paragraph position="0"> The results reported here provide evidence for some systematic relationships between prosody and syntax that should be explored further in several ways. First, a larger number of syntactic structures must be examined in order to make the prosody/syntax relationship more explicit. Second, we note that some sentences were successfully disambiguated with cues that were not represented in our labeling scheme. Since prominences were not differentiated as to type of pitch accent, a more detailed classification of intonation in such contexts could yield more information. Finally, for computer speech understanding applications, it will be important to investigate the extension of these results to spontaneous speech by non-professional speakers, where hesitation phenomena and speech errors will affect the prosodic structure.</Paragraph>
