In our paper we examine the usage of prosodic features in speech recognition, with a special attention payed to agglutinating and fixed stress languages. The used prosodic features, acoustic-prosodic preprocessing, and segmentation in terms of prosodic units are presented in details. We use the expression ”prosodic unit” in order to make a difference from prosodic phrases, which are longer. We ...
This work focuses on the relationship between prosodic and syntactic domains in order to investigate whether there is a preferred syntactic domain of tonal units and whether there is a preferred prosodic domain of syntactic constituents. Two independent analyses of phonetic prosodic boundaries of syntactic constituents and of syntactic structure of prosodic constituents in Italian spontaneous d...
Recently, speaker verification systems using different kinds of prosodic features have been proposed. Although it has been shown that most of these speaker verification systems can improve system performance using score-level fusion with stateof-the-art cepstral-based systems, a systematic comparison of the prosodic modelling algorithms used in these prosodic systems has not yet been performed....
A solution is proposed for rapidly adapting prosodic models to a new voice or a new application. First, a prosodic alphabet that is supported by linguistic knowledge is identified at the acoustic level. The observation of the realisation of prosodic events on the acoustic corpus allows classes of breaks, F0 shapes and accents to be constructed and automatic transcription rules to be written. Th...
Variation in pitch, amplitude and rhythm adds crucial paralinguistic information to human speech. Such prosodic cues can reveal information about the meaning or emphasis of a sentence or the emotional state of the speaker. To examine the hypothesis that sensitivity to prosodic cues is language independent and not human specific, we tested prosody perception in a controlled experiment with zebra...
In this paper, we adopt a difference approach to prosody prediction for emotional text-to-speech synthesis, where the prosodic variations between emotional and neutral speech are decomposed into the global and local prosodic variations and predicted using a two-stage model. The global prosodic variations are modeled by the means and standard deviations of the prosodic parameters, while the loca...
The problem of F0 contour generation in Chinese are addressed in this paper. An F0 contour model based on templates of prosodic words is proposed. Taking templates of prosodic word F0 contour as the basic units, the basic structure of the model is established with references to the “small ripples on top of big waves theory” and “Fujisaki model”. A three-layer prosodic hierarchy which consists o...
This paper tries to discuss the interrelation between prosody and syntax by clarifying some syntactic constraints in Chinese prosodic segmentation and grouping. The main attention will be paid to search for (1) possible correlation between prosodic breaks and syntactic construction; (2) possible correlation between prosodic breaks and POS; and (3) the role of syntactic and lexical information i...
Prosodic structure is often perceived as exhibiting regularities in the patterning of tone sequences or stressed syllables. Recently, prosodic regularities in the distal (non-local) context have been shown to influence the perceived prosodic constituency of syllables. Three experiments tested the nature of distal prosodic patterns influencing perceptions of prosodic structure, using eight-sylla...
A perception experiment was carried out to determine the perceived prosodic boundary strength and the hierarchies of the perceived prosodic boundaries for spontaneous Chinese. The results indicate that perceived prosodic boundaries are highly correlated between intelligible and unintelligible (delexical) utterances, showing that the listeners may judge prosodic boundaries with no reference to s...
