Prosodic Boundaries in Writing: Evidence from a Keystroke Analysis
The aim of the paper is to investigate duration between successive keystrokes during typing in order to examine whether prosodic boundaries are expressed in the process of writing. In particular, we are interested in interkey durations that occur next to punctuation marks (comma and full stops while taking keystrokes between words as a reference), since these punctuation marks are often realize...
متن کاملThe role of prosodic boundaries in word discovery: Evidence from a computational model.
This study aims to quantify the role of prosodic boundaries in early language acquisition using a computational modeling approach. A spoken term discovery system that models early word learning was used with and without a prosodic component on speech corpora of English, Spanish, and Japanese. The results showed that prosodic information induces a consistent improvement both in the alignment of ...
متن کاملInformative prosodic boundaries.
In principle, a prosodic boundary in an utterance might affect its interpretation in a local, context-independent fashion. In a right-branching language like English, the presence of a large prosodic boundary might signal the end of the current constituent, requiring the following constituent to be attached high in the syntactic tree. We present three listening experiments that test an alternat...
متن کاملProsodic boundaries in Lombard speech
Communicative intentions in realizing prosodic boundaries and in making speech more intelligible to the listener in ambient noise both utilize variation in F0 and duration. This paper asks how these cues relate when boundary type and the level of noise is varied. Two durational and two F0 measures of boundary strength extracted in the vicinity of boundaries are analyzed. Data suggest relatively...
متن کاملProsodic boundaries in subordinate syntactic constructions
Based on a video recording of conversational British English, this paper tests whether several different subordinate syntactic structures are evenly vocally integrated to their environment. "Secondary constructions" have been described in linguistics as dependent, subordinate forms elaborating on primary elements of discourse. Although their verbal and vocal characteristics have been deeply ana...
