Quantitative prosodic analysis of spontaneous speech
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a study analyzing the prosody of spontaneous speech exemplified by the OSU Buckeye corpus of American English employing the Fujisaki model and syllable duration analysis. Results show, inter alia, that model parameters are much more strongly influenced by the higher level discourse structure than by their syntactic function. The study shows that modeling strategies can be employed in a similar fashion as for more formal reading style speech.

Linguistic Patterns Detected Through a Prosodic Segmentation in Spontaneous Taiwan Mandarin Speech
This paper proposes that spontaneous speech, segmented into perceptually coherent prosodic constituents, is able to provide plentiful linguistic information in which clear patterns can be observed. We present pioneering studies with empirical and quantitative evidence, supporting the notion that prosodic units can be useful for the automatic processing of spontaneous speech. High inter-labelers...

متن کاملProsodic and syntactic structures in spontaneous English speech
In this paper we examine prosodic and syntactic structures of spontaneous English speech. By wavelet-based analysis, the prosodic structure of speech can be visually represented as a tree diagram. Combined with automatic syntactic parsing, this enables a novel method to compare prosodic and syntactic hierarchical structures in spoken language. In our research we segmented a sample of spontaneou...
متن کاملProsodic and syntactic segmentation of spontaneous speech: A preliminary study
In this paper we examine prosodic and syntactic segmentation of spoken Finnish language. Syntactic sentence or clause is generally mentioned as one of the basic units of language, but it can be questioned whether it is a good unit for analysing the structure of spontaneous speech. By wavelet-based analysis, the prosodic structure of speech can be represented as a tree diagram, making it possibl...
متن کاملProsodic Structure Representation for Boundary Detection in Spontaneous French
Automatic speech processing has recently turned to the treatment of continuous spontaneous speech, which demands, among many other issues, a representation of its prosodic organization. This paper presents a new approach to automatic prosodic boundary detection and prosodic unit structuring, based, with certain changes, on a descriptive theory of the French prosodic system initially proposed fo...
