    • I begin with an intuition: when I read a sentence, I read it a chunk at a time. For example, the previous sentence breaks up something like this:

      (1) [I begin] [with an intuition]: [when I read] [a sentence], [I read it] [a chunk] [at a time]

      These chunks correspond in some way to prosodic patterns.
