Morphological Alternations at the Intonational Phrase Edge
This article develops an analysis of a pair of morphological alternations in K'ichee' (Mayan) that are conditioned at the right edge of intonational phrase boundaries. I propose a syntax-prosody mapping algorithm that derives intonational phrase boundaries from the surface syntax, and then argue that each alternation can be understood in terms of output optimization (Mascaró 2007; Mester 1994)....
متن کاملAutomatic Classi cation of Intonational Phrase Boundaries
The relationship between the intonational characteristics of an utterance and other features inferable from its text represents an important source of information both for speech recognition, to constrain the set of allowable hypotheses, and for speech synthesis, to assign intonational features appropriately from text. This work investigates the usefulness of a number of textual features and ad...
متن کاملIntonational Phrase Boundaries in Southern Bobo Madaré
Southern Bobo Madaré (Bobo) is a Mande language spoken in southwestern Burkina Faso. This paper presents the first step towards a systematic prosodic analysis of this language. It outlines the phonetic correlates of intonational phrase boundaries in Bobo, focusing on fundamental frequency, final lengthening, and non-modal vowel phonation. It is argued that Bobo has both L and H boundary tones, ...
متن کاملBayesian induction of intonational phrase breaks
For the present paper, a Bayesian probabilistic framework for the task of automatic acquisition of intonational phrase breaks was established. By considering two different conditional independence assumptions, the naïve Bayes and Bayesian networks approaches were regarded and evaluated against the CART algorithm, which has been previously used with success. A finite length window of minimal mor...
متن کاملIntonational phrase marking in Southern Vietnamese
Earlier studies of Vietnamese prosody, which, to a single exception, looked at the Northern dialect, portray a language in which intonation is weak, variable and idiosyncratic. The intonational targets typically proposed in autosegmentalmetrical models (boundary tones, pitch-accents) have remained elusive. This may very well be due to the fact that almost all previous experimental work was cond...
