Tempo and Prosody in Turkish Taksim Improvisation
نویسنده
چکیده
Instrumental improvisation in Turkish makam music, the taksim, is considered to be free-rhythm, that is its rhythm develops without the underlying template of a meter or continuous organized pulsation. In this paper, we want to examine how in this setting, rhythmic idioms are formed and maintained throughout a performance. For this, we will apply a simple signal processing approach. We show differences that can be observed between performers, and raise the question if a tempo could be evoked by certain regularities in the occurring rhythmic elaborations.

Tempo Control in Speech Synthesis by Prosodic Phrasing
Tempo control in most speech synthesisers is performed by linear time-scaling although tempo change in human speech shows a non-linear nature. In a perception experiment with a German speech synthesiser it was found that the versions with adjusted prosodic breaks and pauses are preferred over the linear versions for two fast rates and particularly for "very slow". However, the model for "rather...
متن کاملDiscourse prosody context - global F0 and tempo modulations
The present study is a corpus analysis of discourse prosodic information using two different types of fluent continuous Mandarin speech. Global F0 heights and duration patterns of withinand between-paragraph phrases were compared by discourse positions. Results showed that overall phrase-level F0 height was paragraph-initial>-medial>-final while the tempo pattern was paragraph-initial<-medial<-...
متن کاملAn Infrastructure for Turkish Prosody Generation in Text-to-Speech Synthesis
Text-to-speech engines benefit from natural language processing while generating the appropriate prosody. In this study, we investigate the natural language processing infrastructure for Turkish prosody generation in three steps as pronunciation disambiguation, phonological phrase detection and intonation level assignment. We focus on phrase boundary detection and intonation assignment. We prop...
متن کاملA Rule Based Prosody Model for Turkish Text-to-speech Synthesis
Original scientific paper This paper presents our novel prosody model in a Turkish text-to-speech synthesis (TTS) system. After developing a TTS system driven by parametric features consisting of duration, pitch and energy modifications, we try to figure out some prosody rules in order to increase the naturalness of our synthesizer. Since the inflected verbs in Turkish can be stand-alone senten...
متن کاملAssessing the Prosody of Non-Native Speakers of English: Measures and Feature Sets
In this paper, we describe a new database with audio recordings of non-native (L2) speakers of English, and the perceptual evaluation experiment conducted with native English speakers for assessing the prosody of each recording. These annotations are then used to compute the gold standard using different methods, and a series of regression experiments is conducted to evaluate their impact on th...
