'Chunking' :
- Chunking
"One function of prosody is to divide speech into chunks, so
that each chunk sounds complete.
Prosodic chunks are variously known as information-units, tone-units,
tone-groups, intonational phrases, or word groups.
Chunking prosody can be done in various ways, but the sound of it and
its communicative function can be recognised when
it shows different meanings of two otherwise identical utterances..."

"When we speak English, our listeners don't see the punctuation,
but we don't generally run all the words together in a stream of equally-emphasized
words either; we group words by their meaning, and pause between them.
This allows us to speak in phrases or thought groups, and to pause just
after important information that we emphasize."
