Shaping phrase-final rising intonation in German
In German, the course of phrase-final rising intonation can be modelled by an interpolation between three points in the pitch contour, giving a more appropriate description than current approaches to German intonation that only include the alignment of rises and their pitch range. Within this 3-point model, the parameter range proportion produces different contour shapes: concave and convex. Th...
متن کاملA Statistical Phrase/Accent Model for Intonation Modeling
This paper proposes a statistical phrase/accent model of voice fundamental frequency(F0) for speech synthesis. It presents an approach for automatic extraction and modeling of phrase and accent phenomena from F0 contours by taking into account their overall trends in the training data. An iterative optimization algorithm is described to extract these components, minimizing the reconstruction er...
متن کاملData-driven extraction of intonation contour classes
In this paper we introduce the first steps towards a new datadriven method for extraction of intonation events that does not require any prerequisite prosodic labelling. Provided with data segmented on the syllable constituent level it derives local and global contour classes by stylisation and subsequent clustering of the stylisation parameter vectors. Local contour classes correspond to pitch...
متن کاملIntonation segments and segmental intonation
An acoustic analysis of a German dialogue corpus showed that the sound qualities and durations of fricatives, vocoids, and diphthongs at the ends of question and statement utterances varied systematically with the utterance-final intonation segments, which were high-rising in the questions and terminal-falling in the statements. The ways in which the variations relate to phenomena like sibilant...
متن کاملEstimating phrase curves in the general superpositional intonation model
Superpositional intonation models posit that the pitch contour, , can be quasi-additively decomposed into component curves such as phrase curves, accent curves, and segmental perturbation curves. Currently, these component curves can only be estimated if one assumes a specific superpositional model, such as the Fujisaki model. A method is proposed for estimating phrase curves that is model-inde...
