Intonation segments and segmental intonation
An acoustic analysis of a German dialogue corpus showed that the sound qualities and durations of fricatives, vocoids, and diphthongs at the ends of question and statement utterances varied systematically with the utterance-final intonation segments, which were high-rising in the questions and terminal-falling in the statements. The ways in which the variations relate to phenomena like sibilant...

But what happens when medicine's metaphors close off thinking, restricting interpretations and opinions to those of the negative kind? This paper considers the deleterious effects of destructive metaphors that cluster around pain. First, the metaphoric basis ...
متن کاملSynthesizing intonation
This paper describes a computer program for synthesizing fundamental frequency (F0} contours for English, and sketches the theory which underlies it. The F0 contour is described as a series of targets within an envelope specifying F0 range; the F0 contour between targets is computed by transition rules. The use of nonmonotonic transitions permits a sparser specification of the contour than has ...
متن کاملOptimized Selection of Intonation Dictionaries in Corpus Based Intonation Modelling
Data scarcity in corpus-based intonation modelling for TTS applications is addressed. We propose to apply a searching process to a list of dictionaries of classes of intonation patterns previously trained from corpus to avoid problems associated with the scarce number of samples in the classes. Results indicate that better results are obtained in comparison with previous alternatives where the ...
