In this paper we examine different approaches to obtain judgments of perceptual prominence. It discusses the use of different scales, the influence of the linguistic level on which the prominence is rated and the normalisation of prominence judgments. We propose the use of a multilevel scale to obtain prominence judgments. It seems that naı̈ve listeners can rate word prominence better than sylla...

This paper compares prominence that listeners perceive with actual articulatory prominence. We calculated phrasal boundaries from articulatory patterns using an algorithm of the C/D model, and compared those calculated boundaries with perceived boundaries. The jaw displacements, measures of prominence, were measured using EMA; articulatory boundaries were derived from a C/D model algorithm. The...

We propose an unsupervised prominence prediction method for expressive speech synthesis. Prominence patterns are learned by statistical analysis of prosodic features extracted from speech data. The advantages of our unsupervised datadriven prominence prediction include: easy adaptation to new speakers, speech styles, and even languages without requiring expert knowledge or complicated linguisti...

This study investigated speaker variation in the production of various acoustic cues of prominence, including duration and intensity measures. The Bayesian Information Criterion was used to specify a threshold distinction between cues that are linearly vs. piece-wise linearly predictors of the degree of perceived prominence. For all speakers, some features are linear and some features are discr...

This study investigates the role F0 plays in the perception of prominence in American English. Raw, log and locally normalized measures of F0 were extracted from words in a 35K word corpus of spontaneous speech. Linear regression analyses were conducted to test the strength of these measures as cues to prominence, with prominence based on judgments made by ordinary listeners in real-time audito...

The purpose of this study was to explore the notion of prominence in spoken language. It concentrated on finding an operational definition of prominence, on giving a description of the linguistic and acoustical correlates of prominence, and on analyzing these correlates in terms of their contribution to prominence distinctions. Furthermore, this study was concerned with feature extraction, and ...
