The 'case' this paper is dealing with is prosody research at the Chair for Pattern Recognition at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg during the last fifteen years.We want to show how this mirrors the development of prosody research within automatic speech understanding in general.We sketch the realm of prosody in automatic speech understanding and relate the projects conducted to the research topics.This is illustrated in more detail with experimental results obtained within the last two years.Emphasis is put on the interplay between prosodic information and other knowledge sources.
