Intonation and syntax: Preferred co‐occurrences between pitch contour and sentence structure

On the intonation of sinusoidal sentences: contour and pitch height.

A sinusoidal replica of a sentence evokes a clear impression of intonation despite the absence of the primary acoustic correlate of intonation, the fundamental frequency. Our previous studies employed a test of differential similarity to determine that the tone analog of the first formant is a probable acoustic correlate of sinusoidal sentence intonation. Though the typical acoustic and percept...

Intonation and sentence processing

This paper summarises recent research concerning the relationship between intonation and the syntactic analysis of sentences. After introductory comments on the nature of intonation, we discuss methodological problems in determining the relationship between syntactic and intonational structure, and the potential dangers of basing claims about this relationship on scripted readings rather than o...

Modeling Pitch Contour of Chinese Mandarin Sentence with PENTA Model

In continuous speech, it is believed that the pitch contour of the same syllable may vary a lot due to its different context information. To apply the Parallel Encoding and Target Approximation (PENTA) model to Mandarin speech synthesis and improve its prediction accuracy, this paper proposed a method to predict pitch contours for Chinese syllables with different contexts by combining the Class...
