Perception of Intonation
All primates vocalize on an expiratory airflow and they make use of the oscillation of the vocal folds to generate sounds. The acoustic correlate of the rate of vibration is the fundamental frequency (Fo) of voice; its perceptual correlate is pitch. By manipulating the stiffness and length of the vocal folds, elevating or lowering the larynx and changing the sub-glottal pressure, humans can var...
متن کاملGradient perception of intonation
Phonologists usually reserve the term gradience for the distinction between phonetics and phonology. Phonetics is gradient and phonology is categorical. But in recent years, phonotactic patterns have been found to be gradient both along frequency counts and grammaticality judgments (see for instance Pierrehumbert 2003, Frisch & Stearns, this volume, and Jurafsky 2003). This chapter addresses th...
متن کاملPerception of intonation in Cantonese
This study investigated the significance of different intonation markers in intonation perception, and the effect of lexical tone on the perception of intonation. Six tonal contrasts at the final position were presented to twelve listeners in three presentation conditions: complete sentence, carrier-only and final-syllable-only. Results showed similar perceptual accuracy in both complete senten...
متن کاملModelling similarity perception of intonation
In this study a perception experiment was carried out to examine the perceived similarity of intonation contours. Amongst other results we found, that the subjects are capable to produce consistent similarity judgements. On the basis of this data we studied the influence of several physical distance measures on the human similarity judgements by grouping these measures to principal components a...
متن کاملPerception of intonation in Cantonese
This study investigated the perception of Cantonese intonation by an exemplar-theoretic model, without using F0 normalization. Exemplar Theory (Johnson, 1997) claims that listeners store experienced utterances (i.e., exemplars) in rich phonetic detail, so that when a new utterance is heard, it is classified by comparing its auditory similarity to all exemplars stored in memory, without using sp...
