The role of tonal onglides in German nuclear pitch accents.
A perception experiment with native German listeners provided evidence for the relevance of the tonal onglide in nuclear accents--the pitch movement leading towards the target on the accented syllable. Listeners were able to distinguish between two pragmatic meanings of a short phrase (given/non-contrastive and new/contrastive) using the tonal onglide as the sole acoustic cue. On the basis of t...
متن کاملAutomatic labeling of phrase accents in German
In this paper a method for the automatic labeling of phrase accents is described, based on a large text corpus that has been generated automatically and read by 100 speakers. Perception experiments on a subsetof 500 utterances show a high agreement between the automatically generated accent labels and the judgment scores obtained. We computed different prosodic feature vectors from the speech s...
متن کاملQuantitative Modeling of Norwegian Tonal Accents in Different Focus Conditions
The present paper is a first attempt to use the Fujisaki model to parameterize the F0 contours of utterances containing Accent 1 and Accent 2 tonal accents in Norwegian in different focus conditions. Differences in timing and amplitude of the accent commands are found, largely corresponding to descriptions in the literature. This shows that the model can be used as a basis for manipulating stim...
متن کاملTonal Alignment in Two Pisa Italian Peak Accents
A read speech corpus was collected in order to study the tonal targets alignment of two Pisa Italian peak accents. The production of the two accents was forced by inducing a broad and a contrastive interpretation of the target words inserted in small paragraphs. Results of latency and F0 measurements reveal that the contrastive accent has a low target at a 'fixed' distance after the peak wherea...
متن کاملThe phonological representation of the Limburgian tonal accents 1
The dialects of Limburg and the adjacent Ripuarian and Moselle Franconian dialects have two tonal accents, Accent 1 and Accent 2. In the generative tradition it is taken for granted that these accents are to be represented tonally. In this article I want to take issue with this approach. I will show that there is an array of facts that cannot be explained with lexical tones. These facts rather ...
