Quantitative analysis of preboundary lengthening in Cantonese
In a corpus study using eight pairs of syntactically ambiguous sentences, we conducted acoustic and quantitative analyses of the prosodic patterns used by seven native speakers of the Hong Kong variety of Cantonese to divide these sentences into prosodic words — a phenomenon referred to as “prosodic chunking”. Although pauses, pitch reset and preboundary lengthening were analyzed, in this artic...
متن کاملProsodic and intonational domains in speech synthesis
An intonational domain corresponds to the part of an utterance spanned by one intonation contour. We lay out a theory of intonational domains that is rooted in intonational (autosegmental) phonology and prosodic phonology. We focus on restructuring—the process that joins two intonational domains together to form a single domain. We report on a perception experiment about restructuring involving...
متن کاملClausal parentheticals, intonational phrasing, and prosodic theory
This paper investigates the intonational phrasing of three types of parenthetical insertions – non-restrictive relative clauses (NRRCs), full sentences, and comment clauses (CCs) – in actual spoken language. It draws on a large set of data from a corpus of spoken British English. Its aim is twofold: first, it evaluates the correctness of previous claims about the intonational phrasing of parent...
متن کاملIntonational phonology and prosodic hierarchy in malay
This paper presents original data in support of a new model of intonational phonology for Malay as spoken in Singapore. Building on the Autosegmental-Metrical approach (Beckman & Pierrehumbert, 1986), we propose that intonational variation in Malay can be explained in terms of underlying sequences of abstract tonal units (H and L), which are aligned to the edges and internal syllables of prosod...
متن کاملHow far, how long: on the temporal scope of prosodic boundary effects.
Acoustic lengthening at prosodic boundaries is well explored, and the articulatory bases for this lengthening are becoming better understood. However, the temporal scope of prosodic boundary effects has not been examined in the articulatory domain. The few acoustic studies examining the distribution of lengthening indicate that boundary effects extend from one to three syllables before the boun...
