Acoustic correlates of primary and secondary stress in North American English
This study investigates the acoustic correlates of the distinction between primary and secondary stress in English in accented and unaccented morphologically complex words that are either left-prominent or right-prominent (e.g. "violate vs. vio"lation). In both accented and unaccented words, the position of primary and secondary stress significantly influences F0, intensity, and spectral bala...
متن کاملAcoustic correlates of linguistic stress and accent in dutch and american English
In the literature the same acoustic correlates of stress and accent have been established for Dutch and English, i.e. F0 movement, duration, intensity and vowel quality. Sluijter and Van Heuven (1996a) showed that F0 movement and overall intensity in Dutch differentiate only between accented and non-accented syllables, rather than between stressed and unstressed. The most reliable acoustic corr...
متن کاملAcoustic correlates and perceptual cues of word and sentence stress: Mainly English and Dutch
This is an abridged version of a tutorial on the (older) experimental literature on the acoustic correlates of, and their contribution to, human stress perception, mainly on the basis of research on English and Dutch. The emphasis is on establishing the relative importance of correlates amd cues. The conclusion is that a reliable acoustic correlate (e.g. peak intensity) is not necessarily a str...
متن کاملAcoustic correlates of word stress in German spontaneous speech
The acoustic properties of word stress have been explored in a number of studies. However, there is little research on German word stress, and even less on its realization in spontaneous speech. This paper tests whether parameters that have been found to implement word stress in mostly laboratory speech are also employed in a corpus of German spontaneous speech. Specifically, we consider spectr...
متن کاملAcoustic Stress and Topic Detection in American English Spoken Sentences
The relationship between acoustic stress and information content of words is investigated. On one side, the average acoustic stress is measured for each word throughout each utterance. On the other side an Information Retrieval (IR) index, based on the words frequency throughout the particular spoken sentence and throughout the collection of analyzed spoken sentences, is calculated. The scatter...
