Obtaining prominence judgments from naïve listeners - Influence of rating scales, linguistic levels and normalisation

چکیده
In this paper we examine different approaches to obtain judgments of perceptual prominence. We discuss different prominence scales, the influence of the linguistic unit on which prominence is rated and the normalisation of prominence judgments. We propose the use of a multilevel scale for obtaining prominence judgments. It seems that naı̈ve listeners can rate word prominence better than syllable prominence, resulting in better correlations to acoustics. It is shown that normalisation should be applied to the obtained ratings.

متن کاملEvaluating Different Rating Scales for Obtaining Judgments of Syllable Prominence from Naïve Listeners
Streefkerk [6] defines prominence as the perceptually outstanding parts in spoken language. An optimal rating scale for syllable prominence has not been found yet. This paper evaluates a 4point, an 11-point, a 31-point, and a continuous scale for the rating of syllable prominence and gives support for scales using a higher number of levels. Priming effects found by Arnold, et al. [1], could onl...
متن کاملNaïve listeners’ perception of prominence and boundary in French spontaneous speech
Our main goal here is to explore the link between naïve listeners’ perception of prominences and boundaries in spontaneous speech and experts’ annotation of prosodic hierarchy and accentuation in French. We first present the design of our corpus, which consists in 133 utterances extracted from the Corpus of Interactional Data (CID). 73 naïve listeners judged prominences and boundaries using thr...
متن کاملPerception of pitch tails at potential turn boundaries in Swedish
In a number of languages, intonational patterns at prosodic boundaries are considered to be relevant for turn transition or turn hold. A perception experiment tested the influence of fundamental frequency (F0) peak height and rising final contours on Swedish listeners’ judgment about whether a speaker wanted to hold the turn. While F0 peak height, as has been previously shown, did influence lis...
