Intonation in spontaneous speech
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The linguistic analysis of spontaneous speech brings new challenging questions in the study of language. First, transcription and interpretation problems may arise from the presence of speech events such as hesitations, repetitions, false starts, corrections, etc. However, we can easily disregard these disfluencies as they clearly do not belong to the linguistic code. More serious linguistic interpretation problems appear in non prepared speech production as sequences of words are often not well formed in the (classical) syntactic sense. Many studies have been conducted recently on the linguistic characteristics of such characteristics, but they were mainly concerned by their syntactic properties. By contrast, this lesson proposes an integrated view of the interaction between prosody and syntax in spontaneous speech based on a macrosyntactic approach.

Assessing Intonation in the Spontaneous and Scripted Speech of Native and Non-native Speakers of English
Although there have been a large number of studies on English intonation and intonation teaching there has been little research on intonation assessment other than [1], [3] and [4]. This paper evaluates the intonation of native speakers (NSs) and non-native speakers (NNSs) of English with and without knowledge of intonation theory in spontaneous and scripted speech tasks, and asks whether they ...
متن کاملEstimating speaker-specific intonation patterns using the linear alignment model
Modeling speaker-specific intonation is important in several areas, including speaker identification, verification, and imitation using text-to-speech synthesis. However the choice of the intonation model and the estimation of its parameters from spontaneous speech remains a challenge. We propose a way to estimate speaker-specific intonation parameters for a particular superpositional model, th...

This paper deals with intonation of spontaneous Russian. It contains a description of the principles of prosodic annotation used in the new corpus of spontaneous speech—CoRuSS, and statistical data derived from this corpus. The prosodic annotation system was developed specially for the purpose; it is an extension and development of a well-known system of Intonation Constructions by E. A. Bryzgu...
متن کاملOn the phonetics of rhythm of Italian: patterns of duration in pre-planned and spontaneous speech
This paper is concerned with the phonetic correlates of main stress in Italian and presents the analysis of the duration of syllabic nuclei in connected speech and in different speaking styles. Spontaneous dialogues are analysed basing on earlier works on pre-planned speech which investigated both [+stress] / [-stress] and stress/accent contrasts in Italian. The aim of this study is to examine ...

examine phonetic trends such as fundamental frequency (F0) peak placement and downstepping contours. These studies provide important insight into the intonation of laboratory (i.e. read or scripted) speech, however, much remains undiscovered about spontaneous speech intonation in Spanish. One study addressing this issue, Face (2003), compares the intonation of Peninsular Spanish declaratives in...
متن کاملLinguistic Markings of Units in Spontaneous Mandarin
Spontaneous speech is produced and probably also perceived in some kinds of units. This paper applies the perceptually defined intonation units to segment spontaneous Mandarin data. The main aim is to examine spontaneous data to see if linguistic cues which mark the unit boundaries exist. If the production of spontaneous speech is a kind of concatenation of these "chunks", we can deepen our und...
