A Computational Approach to Yorùbá Morphology
We demonstrate the use of default default inheritance hierarchies to represent the morphology of Yorùbá verbs in the KATR formalism, treating inflectional exponences as markings associated with the application of rules by which complex word forms are deduced from simpler roots or stems. In particular, we suggest a scheme of slots that together make up a verb and show how each slot represents a ...
متن کاملTone realisation in a yorùbá speech recognition corpus
We investigate the acoustic realisation of tone in short continuous utterances in Yorùbá. Fundamental frequency (F0) contours are extracted for automatically aligned syllables from a speech corpus of 33 speakers collected for speech recognition development. Extracted contours are processed and analysed statistically to describe acoustic properties in different tonal contexts. We demonstrate how...
متن کاملAppraisal of Computational Model for Yorùbá Folktale Narrative
Our effort at developing computational models for African narratives, particularly those of Yorùbá folktales, is challenged by the diversity in concepts and methodologies in the discipline. This motivated us to pause and consider the various computational models of narratives in the literature. This is with a view to finding the most appropriate or otherwise adapt a closely related one for the ...
متن کاملGenerating fundamental frequency contours for speech synthesis in yorùbá
We present methods for modelling and synthesising fundamental frequency (F0) contours suitable for application in textto-speech (TTS) synthesis of Yorùbá (an African tone language). These methods are discussed and compared with a baseline approach using the HMM-based speech synthesis system HTS. Evaluation is done by comparing ten-fold cross validation squared errors on a small corpus of four s...
متن کاملTheoretical Issues in the Computational Modelling of Yorùbá Narratives
Developing a coherent computational model for narratives across multiple cultures raises the question of the components and structure of a framework within which African narratives can be conceptualised and formalised. It is well known that narratives are influenced by cultural, linguistic, and cognitive factors. We identify and define entities, elements, and relations necessary for the adequat...
