Predicting gradient F0 variation: pitch range and accent prominence
Many aspects of prosody prediction in speech synthesis could be improved, from placement of symbolic accent and phrase boundary markers to control of continuously varying parameters (e.g., duration, fundamental frequency). The goal of this work is to develop algorithms for predicting aspects of fundamental frequency typically said to have gradient variation: pitch range and prominence. In addit...
متن کاملDetecting Prominence in Conversational Speech: Pitch Accent, Givenness and Focus
The variability and reduction that are characteristic of talking in natural interaction make it very difficult to detect prominence in conversational speech. In this paper, we present analytic studies and automatic detection results for pitch accent, as well as on the realization of information structure phenomena like givenness and focus. For pitch accent, our conditional random field model co...
متن کاملCentral vowels in Arrernte: metrical prominence and pitch accent
This paper presents duration and formant data for the central vowels /@/ (schwa) and /a/ in Arrernte, a central Australian language. Results show that /@/ has a shorter duration and higher position in the vowel space in metrically prominent syllables, whereas /a/ has a longer duration and no change in formant structure. By contrast, effects of pitch accent are minimal for both vowels.
متن کاملStress and accent: acoustic correlates of metrical prominence in Catalan
This study examines the phonetic correlates of stress and accent in Catalan, analyzing syllable duration, spectral balance, vowel quality, and overall intensity in two stress [stressed, unstressed] and in two accent conditions [accented, unaccented]. Catalan reveals systematic phonetic differences between accent and stress, consistent with previous work on Dutch, English, and Spanish (Slujter &...
متن کاملPitch Accent in Context: Predicting Intonational Prominence from Text
Explaining speakers' choice of which items to emphasize or de-emphasize intonationally has been an important topic in theoretical linguistics, as well as in applications such as speech synthesis, where accent decisions aaect the naturalness as well as interpretation. Heretofore, most researchers have assumed that detailed syntactic, semantic, and discourse-level information must be available in...
