Listening to Lists: Studying Durational Phenomena in Enumerations
نویسندگان
چکیده
A study on durational phenomena in list like enumerations in German is presented. Due to its highly structured and uniform nature this rather specialized utterance type seems especially wellsuited for investigating principles of the rhythmical organization of speech. A corpus extracted from radio weather reports is used in order to investigate phenomena like prefinal lengthening and effects of isochrony and prominence. In addition to studying durational phenomena with standard statistical methods, the data also was analyzed using Structural Regression Trees (SRT), a machine learning algorithm.

Comparison of catalog of (3, g) Hamiltonian bipartite graphs with other known lists
The focus of this paper is on discussion of a catalog of a class of (3, g) graphs for even girth g. A (k, g) graph is a graph with regular degree k and girth g. This catalog is compared with other known lists of (3, g) graphs such as the enumerations of trivalent symmetric graphs and enumerations of trivalent vertex-transitive graphs, to conclude that this catalog has graphs for more orders tha...
متن کاملSwedish quantity: Central Standard Swedish and Fenno-Swedish
The durational realisation of the Swedish complementary quantity contrast was investigated in monosyllabic and disyllabic target words in Central Standard Swedish and in Fenno-Swedish. Several systematic durational differences between the two varieties were observed, most of which can be summarized by stating that speakers of Fenno-Swedish exaggerate, in comparison to Central Standard Swedish s...
متن کاملCombining Lexical and Formatting Cues for Named Entity Acquisition from the Web
Because of their constant renewal, it is necessary to acquire fresh named entities (NEs) from recent text sources. We present a tool for the acquisition and the typing of NEs from the Web that associates a harvester and three parallel shallow parsers dedicated to specific structures (lists, enumerations, and anchors). The parsers combine lexical indices such as discourse markers with formatting...

متن کاملSpeech produced in noise: Relationship between listening difficulty and acoustic and durational parameters.
Conversational speech produced in noise can be characterised by increases in intelligibility relative to such speech produced in quiet. Listening difficulty (LD) is a metric that can be used to evaluate speech transmission performance more sensitively than intelligibility scores in situations in which performance is likely to be high. The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the LD ...
