Pitch declination and reset as a function of utterance duration in conversational speech data
This paper describes the declination trends of f0 in conversational speech data. A 10-minute dialogue interaction from a corpus of spontaneous speech was annotated to identify intersilence units (ISU) and turns. Detailed annotation of the ISUs was conducted in terms of communicative types and pitch patterns. f0 declination was measured by (1) fitting a regression line to f0 trajectories and (2)...
متن کاملIntrinsic Vowel Pitch: A Gradient Feature of Vowel Systems?
This paper investigates the average fundamental frequency of eight peripheral vowels in Belgian Standard Dutch in order to examine whether a vowel gradient exists with respect to Intrinsic Vowel Pitch (IF0). The results show that IF0 exists in Belgian Standard Dutch and amounts to 3.26 semi-tones. It is found that the assumed gradience in the degree of openness/tongue height is only reflected t...
متن کاملF0 declination in spontaneous Estonian: implications for pitch-related preplanning in speech production
This study contributes to the discussion on pitch-related preplanning in spontaneous speech production. It investigates the relationship of phrasal length with declination slope, and the initial and final F0 height in intonation phrases extracted from a corpus of Estonian dialogues. The analysis is based on data from 10 speakers. The results show that the declination in shorter phrases is steep...
متن کاملImplications of energy declination for speech synthesis
This paper examines whether observed phenomena in energy declination can be used to improve the naturalness of synthetic speech. In two production experiments different aspects of intensity fall-off within utterances are analysed including degree of stress, phrase length, phrase boundaries. Energy manipulation was carried out using diphone synthesis as a basis for generating stimuli for percept...
متن کاملThe PEPA Feature Construct
We show how the PEPA performance modelling language could be extended with a feature construct which can be used to describe modifications to PEPA models. We provide this construct with an operational description which conservatively extends the operational semantics of the PEPA language. We then show how the feature construct can be applied in a small case study.
