The inf...
متن کاملLocal and Global Acoustic Correlates of Information Structure in Bulgarian
In this study the local and global prosodic exponents of information structure are examined in the production of six Bulgarian question-answer elicited sentences under different focus conditions (broad focus and non-contrastive and contrastive narrow focus).

In Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) systems, parsing of meaning structures is carried over the word hypotheses generated by the Automatic Speech Recognizer (ASR). This approach suffers from high word error rates and ad-hoc conceptual representations. In contrast, in this paper we ...

The acoustic analysis showed that the duration and intensity results mirror each other in indicating a strong iambic pattern of ...
متن کاملAcoustic Correlates of Ta
It is argued that reliable acoustic profiles of speech under stress can only be found if different types of stress are clearly distinguished and experimentally induced. We report first results of a study with 100 speakers from three language groups, using a computer-based induction procedure that allows distinguishing cognitive load due to task engagement from psychological stress. Findings sho...
