Morphologically Motivated Language Models in Speech Recognition
Language modelling in large vocabulary speech recognition has traditionally been based on words. A lexicon of the most common words of the language in question is created and the recogniser is limited to consider only the words in the lexicon. In Finnish, however, it is more difficult to create an extensive lexicon, since the compounding of words, numerous inflections and suffixes increase the ...

متن کاملProsodic cues for syntactically-motivated junctures
A pilot study was conducted to examine the manner in which Cantonese speakers use prosody to mark syntactic junctures in speech production. Test sentences were designed to create the intended experimental conditions — each sentence-pair consists of an identical array of morphemes with exactly two interpretations according to two different syntactic structures. These structures can be clarified ...
متن کاملPerceptually Motivated Parameters for Automatic Prosodic Annotation
This contribution presents an approach to automatic prosodic annotation which emphasizes the linguistic motivation and perceptual relevance of the features used for classifying the prosodic categories. The analyses and experiments presented here were conducted on a 2.5 hours German news-like corpus which had been manually annotated using GToBI(S) (Mayer, 1995). GToBI(S) is an adaptation of Amer...
متن کاملThe Autosegmental-Metrical Prosodic Structure: not fit for French?
Since two decades at least, intonation phonology is almost exclusively dominated by the Autosegmental-Metrical model, which appears universally appropriate to describe sentence intonation in most languages. However, careful examination of the AM limitations and drawbacks may question this universality, leading way to improve and possibly modify key properties of this theoretical approach, at le...
