Effects of information structure, syllable structure, and voicing on nuclear falling pitch accents in German
Previous work showed that tonal alignment distinguishes information status (given/new), that syllable structure affects alignment and that the scaling and alignment of tones correlate with focus. We investigate the interaction of these effects on the tonal realization of nuclear falling accents in German. In a production experiment, syllable structure [± open syllable] and voicing of the follow...
متن کاملEffects of Syllable Structure and Nuclear Pitch Accents on Peak Alignment: a Corpus-based Analysis
This paper describes the use of a unit selection corpus in carrying out an investigation of factors influencing specific aspects of the phonetic realization of tonal categories, concentrating on the alignment of peaks in H*L pitch accents in German. Three major linguistic parameters potentially influencing peak alignment are investigated. Two of them (syllable structure, nuclear pitch accents) ...
متن کاملDetecting Pitch Accents at the Word, Syllable and Vowel Level
The automatic identification of prosodic events such as pitch accent in English has long been a topic of interest to speech researchers, with applications to a variety of spoken language processing tasks. However, much remains to be understood about the best methods for obtaining high accuracy detection. We describe experiments examining the optimal domain for accent analysis. Specifically, we ...
متن کاملQuantity and the Three-Syllable Window in Dutch Word Stress
This paper considers the state-of-the-art in the (generative) study of Dutch word stress. In the past 25 years, consensus has been reached on a number of properties of the Dutch stress system, such that it obeys the so-called three-syllable window and that it is quantity sensitive. However, not all of these arguments are equally convincing in the light of modern developments in phonological the...
متن کاملCatalan Pre-Nuclear Accents: Evidence for Word Edge Tones
The phonological interpretation of pre-nuclear rising accents in Catalan declaratives is examined within the Autosegmental-Metrical framework. Former studies have shown that pre-nuclear rises can neither be described as L*+H (the H is not located at a fixed distance from L* as expected in bitonality) nor as H* with peak delay (there is no correlation between syllable duration and location of th...
