Abstract
Theoretical approaches mostly associate stressed additive particles (e.g., auch in German) with contrastive topics. Empirical data show that these associated constituents (ACs) are produced more prominently than unassociated ones; however, they are not produced as contrastive topics. This paper compares the prosodic realizations of ACs, contrastive and non-contrastive topics. We found no differences in accent types but later alignment for contrastive than non-contrastive topics; ACs lie in-between. An unrestricted sentence completion task tested whether listener produce more additive particles upon hearing fragments with contrastive compared to non-contrastive topics. Completions containing additive particles were generally very rare, but cru-cially more frequent in sentences with a contrastive topic compared to a non-contrastive topic. We conclude that stressed additive particles associate with prominent accents, which may often be contrastive topics.
