چکیده

Human speech, as a collection of complex phenomena, can be explored from many different angles, and interesting data can be generated with various approaches. However, if we aim to substantially improve our understanding of speech, it is advantageous to focus on the communicative functions and the mechanisms that enable these functions. This paper uses prosodic phenomena in speech as examples to illustrate the necessity as well as potential benefits of such functionand mechanism-oriented approaches.

Functions and mechanisms in linguistic research - lessons from speech prosody

However, if we aim to substantially improve our understanding of speech, it is advantageous to focus on the communicative functions and the mechanisms that enable these functions.

Model-Based Parametric Prosody Synthesis with Deep Neural Network

Conventional statistical parametric speech synthesis (SPSS) captures only frame-wise acoustic observations and computes probability densities at HMM state level to obtain statistical acoustic models combined with decision trees, which is therefore a purely statistical data-driven approach without explicit integration of any articulatory mechanisms found in speech production research. The presen...

Prosody and Automatic Speech Recognition —- Why not yet a Success Story and where to go from here

We describe the different linguistic and paralinguistic functions of prosody, show how features can be computed that describe the prosodic marking of these functions, and how this knowledge can be used in an automatic speech understanding system. This is done in the context of the speech–to–speech translation system Verbmobil, where prosody is used to segment the user utterance and to find self...

MeLos: Analysis and Modelling of Speech Prosody and Speaking Style

This thesis addresses the issue of modelling speech prosody for speech synthesis, and presents MeLos: a complete system for the analysis and modelling of speech prosody “the music of speech”. Research into the analysis and modelling of speech prosody has increased dramatically in recent decades, and speech prosody has emerged as a crucial concern for speech synthesis. The issue of speech prosod...
