Duration and F0 interval of utterance-final intonation contours in the perception of German sentence modality
This paper investigates the influence of duration and F0 interval of the utterance-final F0 contour on the perception of sentence modality, i.e. declarative or interrogative sentence. An utterance-final rising contour with a constant F0 interval of 2 semitones or more and a voicing duration of at least 50 ms leads to unanimously identified interrogative modality. Even at durations of 20 and 30 ...

متن کاملMeasuring Final Lengthening for Speaker-Change Prediction
We explore pre-silence syllabic lengthening as a cue for nextspeakership prediction in spontaneous dialogue. When estimated using a transcription-mediated procedure, lengthening is shown to reduce error rates by 25% relative to majority class guessing. Lengthening should therefore be exploited by dialogue systems. With that in mind, we evaluate an automatic measure of spectral envelope change, ...
متن کاملFinal Lengthening in Parkinsonian French speech
The ensuing study examined the impact of Parkinson disease (PD) on the duration of CV syllables in different positions within phrases and the distribution of final lengthening (FL) on syllable subcomponents. The results showed that PD patients produced normal FL and that the FL effects can be attributed primarily to vowels. This suggests that the syntactic function of prosody is intact in PD pa...
