Segment durations within the domain of accentual F0 movement in Finnish
نویسنده
چکیده
Besides those durational differences due to the binary quantity opposition in both vowels and consonants, there are many systematic effects on segment durations within the domain of accentual F0 movement in Finnish. Some such effects are shown in this paper, and it is argued that their motivation is to contribute to a uniform realisation of accent irrespective of segmental word structure.

Non-adjacent segmental effects in tonal realization of accentual phrase in seoul Korean
This paper investigates the degree to which an onset consonant of an accentual phrase affects the f0 of the following syllables within the phrase in Seoul Korean. Korean tense or aspirated onset consonants raise f0 values of the following adjacent vowel, and when they are positioned on the first syllable onset of an accentual phrase, they continuously raise f0 values of the following non-adjace...
متن کاملThe role of pitch range variation in the discourse structure and intonation structure of Korean
This study explores pitch range variation in Korean spontaneous narratives and read transcripts of the same narratives. There are two research goals. One is to examine whether pitch range variation helps mark discourse segment boundaries and signal the hierarchy of discourse segment purposes. Another is to see whether categorical differences in pitch range encode the contrast between the two in...
متن کاملSegmentation of the Accentual Phrase in Seoul Korean
Pairs of phonemically identical utterances with different location of an Accentual Phrase boundary were presented to listeners. When duration and/or F0 were swapped between the utterances within a pair, only F0 change elicited changes in listeners’ responses. This effect was found regardless of the distribution of strong consonants which raise Accentual Phrase initial F0. On the other hand, lis...
متن کاملDurational and tonal correlates of accent in Finnish
The paper reports the first study that explicitly distinguishes the phonetic correlates of sentence accents from those of word stress in Finnish (stress acted as the baseline whose correlates as against of stress were not investigated). Sentences were constructed that successfully elicited no accent, moderate accent, and strong accent on target words. The three degrees of prominence were clearl...

This paper examines the acoustic correlates of accentual prominence in English spoken by L1 Bengali speakers. The acoustic phonetic correlates of stressed unaccented vowels, and stressed vowels produced in positions of narrow focus were compared. As observed for many varieties of English, the main correlates of accentual prominence in narrow focused contexts were presence of/and extent of f0 mo...
