Realisations and alternations in German /r/-realisation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rhotics, generally believed to be phonetically heterogeneous – are usually classified into one group of sounds due to their similar phonological behaviour and their diachronic and synchronic alternation [13, 12, 31, and 1]. Previous research has shown considerable segmental variation, especially in the realisation of /r/ in German which lead some authors to conclude that a positive description of the German phoneme /r/ does not make sense [11].

Underspecifying and Predicting Voice for Surface Realisation Ranking
This paper addresses a data-driven surface realisation model based on a large-scale reversible grammar of German. We investigate the relationship between the surface realisation performance and the character of the input to generation, i.e. its degree of underspecification. We extend a syntactic surface realisation system, which can be trained to choose among word order variants, such that the ...
متن کاملPitch accents and information status in a German radio news corpus
This paper presents a corpus analysis of prosodic realisations of information status categories in terms of pitch accent types. The annotations base on a recent annotation scheme for information status [1] that is based on semantic criteria applied to written text. For each information status category, typical pitch accent realisations are identified. Moreover, the relevance of the strict seman...
متن کاملStochastic Realisation Ranking for a Free Word Order Language
We present a log-linear model that is used for ranking the string realisations produced for given corpus f-structures by a reversible broadcoverage LFG for German and compare its results with the ones achieved by the application of a language model (LM). Like other authors that have developed log-linear models for realisation ranking, we use a hybrid model that uses linguistically motivated lea...
متن کاملIncorporating Information Status into Generation Ranking
We investigate the influence of information status (IS) on constituent order in German, and integrate our findings into a loglinear surface realisation ranking model. We show that the distribution of pairs of IS categories is strongly asymmetric. Moreover, each category is correlated with morphosyntactic features, which can be automatically detected. We build a loglinear model that incorporates...
متن کاملThe First Surface Realisation Shared Task: Overview and Evaluation Results
The Surface Realisation (SR) Task was a new task at Generation Challenges 2011, and had two tracks: (1) Shallow: mapping from shallow input representations to realisations; and (2) Deep: mapping from deep input representations to realisations. Five teams submitted six systems in total, and we additionally evaluated human toplines. Systems were evaluated automatically using a range of intrinsic ...
