Pausing strategies and prosodic boundaries in Dalabon

چکیده
Earlier impressionistic analyses of Dalabon indicate that the grammatical word is often realized as either an accentual phrase, or an intonational phrase, followed by a pause. Unusually, it can also be interrupted by a silent pause, with each section being realized as separate intonational phrases. Our results support these earlier impressions, although this use of the silent pause appears to be restricted to certain affix boundaries, and other phonological constraints relating to the following linguistic material.

In this paper I examine pause patterning and IPU length in two typologically distinct Australian languages; Dalabon and Kayardild. Results show that Dalabon prefers considerably longer stretches of continuous speech than Kayardild. Preliminary findings reveal that...
متن کاملThe role of pause as a prosodic boundary marker: Language ERP studies in German 3- and 6-year-olds
Spoken language is hierarchically structured into prosodic units divided by prosodic breaks. The largest prosodic breaks in an utterance are intonational phrase boundaries (IPBs), which are defined by three acoustic cues, namely, pitch change, preboundary lengthening, and pausing. Previous studies have revealed that the electrophysiological marker of IPB perception, the Closure Positive Shift (...
متن کاملProduction and perception of pauses and their linguistic context in read and spontaneous speech in Swedish
We investigate the relationship between prosodic phrase boundaries in terms of pausing and the linguistic structure on morphosyntactic and discourse levels in spontaneous dialogues as well as in read aloud speech in Swedish. Both the speakers’ production and the listeners’ perception of pausing are considered and mapped to the linguistic structure.

The paper explores the interaction between sentence boundaries marked by annotators in transcriptions of Russian spontaneous speech and actual prosodic boundaries in the signal. The aim of the research is to investigate whether annotators’ prosodic competence allows them to correctly detect sentence boundaries in speech based on textual information only. We found that inter-annotator agreement ...
