Prosodic Cues to Word Order: What Level of Representation?
Within language, systematic correlations exist between syntactic structure and prosody. Prosodic prominence, for instance, falls on the complement and not the head of syntactic phrases, and its realization depends on the phrasal position of the prominent element. Thus, in Japanese, a functor-final language, prominence is phrase-initial, and realized as increased pitch (^ Tōkyōni "Tokyo to"), wh...
متن کاملProsodic cues to word usage
In this study we examined prosodic characteristics of a word used in several distinct senses in a task-oriented corpus of spontaneous speech. We compared the pitch characteristics of the word “right” used in three different senses: as an acknowledgment, as a direction, and as an affirmative answer to a question. Significant differences in intonation for different classes of usage were found, al...
متن کاملWord segmentation with universal prosodic cues.
When listening to speech from one's native language, words seem to be well separated from one another, like beads on a string. When listening to a foreign language, in contrast, words seem almost impossible to extract, as if there was only one bead on the same string. This contrast reveals that there are language-specific cues to segmentation. The puzzle, however, is that infants must be endowe...
متن کاملProsodic Cues for Automatic Word Boundary Detection in ASR
This article presents a cross-lingual study for agglutinative, fixed stressed languages, like Hungarian and Finnish, about the segmentation of continuous speech on word level by examination of supra-segmental parameters. We have developed different algorithms based either on a rule based or a datadriven approach. The best results were obtained by data-driven algorithms (HMMbased methods) using ...
متن کاملHow far can prosodic cues help in word segmentation?
Prosodic cues are of great importance in parsing speech signal into prosodic and lexical units. Listeners detect the changes of the prosodic parameters and interpret them to detect sentence modalities or the mood of the speaker. Some automatic speech recognition systems try to use prosodic parameters to detect boundaries of prosodic units and help thus the acoustic decoding process. Although th...
