Prosodic smothering in Macedonian and Kaqchikel
This paper deals with a so-far unnoticed phenomenon in prosodic phonology, which we dub prosodic smothering. Prosodic smothering arises when the prosodic status of a clitic or affix varies with the presence or absence of some outer morpheme. We first illustrate prosodic smothering with novel data from two genetically unrelated languages, Macedonian (Slavic) and Kaqchikel (Mayan). We then provid...
متن کاملThe Acoustic Realization of Prosodic Prominence in Polish: Word-level Stress and Phrase-level Accent
The current study addresses the question of how word-level (“stress”) and phraseor sentence-level prominence (“accent”) is realized in Polish. For this purpose, a production experiment eliciting semi-spontaneous utterances was conducted, closely following the methodological approach introduced in [1]. Our acoustic analyses are based on identical target syllables which are embedded in sentences ...
متن کاملProsodic Structure, Performance Structure and Phrase Structure
It is natural to expect phrase structure to be important in predicting prosodic phrasing. Yet there appears to be a concensus that syntactic phrases do not correspond well to prosodic phrasing, and independent structures have been proposed to account for prosody. I propose that the problem with phrase structure lies with the particular measures of boundary strength applied to syntactic structur...
متن کاملKorean Prosodic Domains and Phrase Structure
1. Introduction Selkirk (1986) argues for the existence of a level, which she calls P-structure, that mediates between syntactic structure and phonetic representation. She claims that this P-structure is made of prosodic structures which are hierarchically ordered. That is, a phonological representation consists of a hierarchy of prosodic constituents or categories. From the bottom-up, the hier...
متن کاملUsing Prosodic Features for Predicting Phrase Boundaries
Spoken input of address data in modern GPS units is typically done by filling one information slot after another. To fill-in multiple slots at once, the particular slot information contained in the input utterance has to be extracted. We employ phrase boundaries to separate the speech signal into certain slots. In our evaluation, several types of input utterances differing in the number of slot...
