Eskilstuna as the tonal key to Danish
نویسنده
چکیده
This study considers the distribution of creak/stød in relation to the tonal profile in the variety of Central Swedish (CSw) spoken in Eskilstuna. It is shown that creak/stød correlates with the characteristic HL fall at the end of the intonation phrase and that this fall has earlier timing in Eskilstuna, than in the standard variety of CSw. Also, a tonal shift at the left edge in focused words is seen to instantiate the beginnings of the dialect transition to the Dalabergslag (DB) variety. These features fit into the general hypothesis regarding the origin of Danish stød and its relation to surrounding tonal dialects (Riad, 1998a). A laryngeal mechanism, proposed by Jan Gauffin, which relates low F0, creak and stød is discussed by Björn Lindblom in a companion paper (this volume).

Laryngealization or Pitch Accent – the Case of Danish Stød
Recent proposals make Danish stød the phonetic manifestation of a HL tonal pattern compressed within one syllable. This review of the relevant aspects of Danish stød and intonation demonstrates that (1) such a tonal representation of stød is contradicted by the phonetic reality. (2) Stød is distributed in words according to the same principles across regional varieties of Danish, but tonal patt...

The widespread use of squirrel cage fans, especially in ventilation and home and industrial environments, has led to the formation of many research efforts to improve performance and reduce the sound produced by this type of fan. In the literature, the most important factor in generating sound in this category of fans is the confrontation between the rotor exit flow and the volute of the fan. I...

A model that calculates similarity of tonal evolution among pieces in an audio database is presented. The model employs a template based key finding algorithm. This algorithm is used in a sliding window fashion to obtain a sequence of tonal center estimates that delineate the trajectory of tonal evolution in tonal space. A chroma based representation is used to capture tonality information. Tem...
