From previous research it is known that speakers use the prosodic cues pause and pitch to audibly structure their spoken messages. Listeners, on the other hand, use these phonetic cues to determine the degree of disjuncture in the flow of speech, whi

One of the possible functions of intonation is its capacity to clarify textual structure. It may indicate, for instance, that a sentence is likely to be the last one in a sequence of statements that build a discourse unit. In order to investigate the

Perceived prosodic boundaries and their phonetic correlates

Publikováno v: HLT

This paper addresses two main questions: (a) Can listeners assign values of perceived boundary strength to the juncture between any two words? (b) If so, what is the relationship between these values and various (combinations of) suprasegmental featu

On the perceptual analysis of intonation

Publikováno v: Speech Communication, 9(5-6), 443-451. Elsevier

The paper describes an experimental-phonetic approach to the study of speech melody, developed at the Institute for Perception Research (IPO). The advocated method leads to intonation models which are helpful for the interpretation of acoustic and ph
