  ABSTRACT={We describe the modification of a grammar to take advantage of prosodic
     information provided by a speech recognition system. This initial study is
     limited to the use of relative duration of phonetic segments in the assignment
     of syntactic structure, specifically in ruling out alternative parses in otherwise
     ambiguous sentences. Taking advantage of prosodic information in parsing can
     make a spoken language system more accurate and more efficient, if prosodic-syntactic
     mismatches, or unlikely matches, can be pruned. We know of no other work that
     has succeeded in automatically exacting speech information and using it in
     a parser to rule out extraneous parses.}
