Interpreting prosodic cues in discourse context.
Two visual-world experiments investigated whether and how quickly discourse-based expectations about the prosodic realization of spoken words modulate interpretation of acoustic-prosodic cues. Experiment 1 replicated effects of segmental lengthening on activation of onset-embedded words (e.g. pumpkin) using resynthetic manipulation of duration and fundamental frequency (F0). In Experiment 2, th...
متن کاملProsodic Cues to Discourse Segment Boundaries in Human-Computer Dialogue
Theories of discourse structure hypothesize a hierarchical structure of discourse segments, typically tree-structured. While substantial work has been done on identifying and automatically recognizing the textual and prosodic correlates of discourse structure in monologue, comparable cues for dialogue or multiparty conversation, and in particular humancomputer dialogue remain relatively less st...
متن کاملInterpreting Cohesive Forms in the Context of Discourse Inference
In this thesis, we present analyses and algorithms for resolving a variety of cohesive phenomena in natural language, including VP-ellipsis, gapping, event reference, tense, and pronominal reference. Past work has attempted to explain the complicated behavior of these expressions with theories that operate within a single module of language processing. We argue that such approaches cannot be ma...
متن کاملInterpreting Negatives in Discourse
In recent work, tableau-based model generation calculi have been used as computational models of the reasoning processes involved in utterance interpretation. In this linguistic application of an inference technique that was originally developed for automated theorem proving, natural language understanding is treated as a process of generating Herbrand models for the logical form of an utteranc...
متن کاملInterpreting the Scope of Negation in Three Varieties of German - The Effect of Prosodic Cues
This paper presents two perception experiments on three German varieties investigating the effect of pause, intonation contour and peak alignment on (1) the scope of negation and (2) the strength of phrasal breaks. Subjects from Kiel, Vienna and Düsseldorf participated in both experiments which drew on the same set of stimuli. Results show that the interpretation of prosodic cues is task-specif...
