Prominence detection in Swedish using syllable correlates
This paper presents an approach to estimating word level prominence in Swedish using syllable level features. The paper discusses the mismatch problem of annotations between word level perceptual prominence and its acoustic correlates, context, and data scarcity. 200 sentences are annotated by 4 speech experts with prominence on 3 levels. A linear model for feature extraction is proposed on a s...
متن کاملSyllable onsets are perceptual reading units.
Syllable onsets are defined as the initial consonant or consonant cluster in a syllable (e.g., BR in BREAD). In the present study, using a letter detection paradigm and French words, we tested whether syllable onsets are processed as units by the reading system. In Experiment 1, we replicated Gross, Treiman, and Inman's (2000) result of observing no difference between the detection latencies of...
متن کاملOn the Normalization of Syllable Prominence Ratings
The instructions under which raters quantify syllable prominence perception need to be simple in order to maintain immediate reactions. This leads to noise in the rating data that can be dealt with by normalization, e.g. setting central tendency = 0 and dispersion = 1 (as in Z-score normalization). Questions arise such as: Which parameter is adequate here to capture central tendency? Which refe...
متن کاملStochastic time analysis of syllable-referential intervals and simplex onsets
We pursue an analysis of the relation between qualitative syllable parses and their quantitative phonetic consequences. To do this, we express the statistics of a symbolic organization corresponding to a syllable parse in terms of continuous phonetic parameters which quantify the timing of the consonants and vowels that make up syllables: consonantal plateau durations, vowel durations, and thei...
متن کاملSyllable-level prominence detection with acoustic evidence
Accurate prominence annotation benefits many spoken language understanding tasks as well as speech synthesis. In this work, we conduct a thorough study using acoustic prosodic cues for prominence detection in speech. This study is different from previous work in several aspects. In addition to the widely used prosodic features, such as pitch, energy, and duration, we introduce the use of cepstr...
