Downstepped Pitch Accent in American English is Categorical and Predictable
Résumé: A travers une analyse acoustique et une expérience didactique sur machine, cette présentation met en évidence une distinction de catégorie en anglais américain entre les tons hauts accentués H* dont le registre est abaissé (downstep: !H*) et ceux dont il ne l'est pas. Cette étude offre une explication quant aux découvertes contradictoires de recherches acoustiques precedents (Liberman e...
متن کاملIssues of optionality in pitch accent placement
When comparing the prosodic realization of different English speakers reading the same text, a significant disagreement is usually found amongst the pitch accent patterns of the speakers. Assuming that such disagreement is due to a partial optionality of pitch accent placement, it has been recently proposed to evaluate pitch accent predictors by comparing them with multispeaker reference data. ...
متن کاملPitch Accent Use in Appalachian English
Researchers have been studying variation in the pronunciation of consonants and vowels for decades, but until recently they have given little attention to variation in prosody. When Beckman and Ayers (1994, 1997) developed the MAE ToBI (Mainstream American English Tones and Break Indices) system for analyzing intonation and phrasing, linguists gained a powerful tool for exploring this aspect of...
متن کاملAutomatic lexical stress and pitch accent detection for L2 English speech using multi-distribution deep neural networks
This paper investigates the use of multi-distribution deep neural networks (MD-DNNs) for automatic lexical stress detection and pitch accent detection, which are useful for suprasegmental mispronunciation detection and diagnosis in second-language (L2) English speech. The features used in this paper cover syllable-based prosodic features (including maximum syllable loudness, syllable nucleus du...
متن کاملProminence Model for Prosodic Features in Automatic Lexical Stress and Pitch Accent Detection
A prominence model is proposed for enhancing prosodic features in automatic lexical stress and pitch accent detection. We make use of a loudness model and incorporate differential pitch values to improve conventional features. Experiments show that these new prosodic features can improve the detection of lexical stress and pitch accent by about 6%. We further employ a prominence model to take i...
