Aim 2:<br />
IV. What does it all mean?<br />
o IUs most frequently align with CLUs (cf. Type I: 70%)<br />
o Prosody <strong>and</strong> <strong>grammar</strong> are tightly entw<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> <strong>Auslan</strong>,<br />
it is necessary <strong>to</strong> look at con<strong>to</strong>urs NOT boundaries<br />
or we will miss layers of cohesiveness (cf. all CLU<br />
Types)<br />
o It’s possible <strong>Auslan</strong> uses <strong>prosody</strong> <strong>to</strong> express<br />
relationships between CLUs (cf. Type II: 17%) or<br />
between CLUs <strong>and</strong> other types of grammatical<br />
constituents (cf. Type III: 10%). These relationships<br />
may be represented by morphosyntactic markers <strong>in</strong><br />
non-signed (older? spoken? written?) languages<br />
