Exploring the Prosody-Syntax Interface in Conversations
The goal of this study is to investigate the structuring of speech in terms of prosodic boundaries in spontaneous dialogues in Swedish. In particular, the relation between boundaries as perceived by listeners, and their acoustic and linguistic realizations as uttered by speakers is examined.
متن کاملQuantitative experiments on prosodic and discourse units in the Corpus of Interactional Data
The recent years have seen growing the number initiatives related to the interface between syntax, prosody and discourse. While in English the computational counterpart of this perspective has been largely advanced both from more formal modeling (Ginzburg, 2012) and machine learning perspectives (?), in French the situation is much less clear. Some automatic tools for analyzing prosody (?; ?; ?...
متن کاملThe NXT-format Switchboard Corpus: a rich resource for investigating the syntax, semantics, pragmatics and prosody of dialogue
This paper describes a recently completed common resource for the study of spoken discourse, the NXT-format Switchboard Corpus. Switchboard is a long-standing corpus of telephone conversations (Godfrey et al., 1992). We have brought together transcriptions with existing annotations for syntax, disfluency, speech acts, animacy, information status, coreference, and prosody; along with substantial...
متن کاملTopic-Focus Subjectivity within Verbal Complex Substructures on the Romanian Syntax-Prosody Interface
The main contributions enclosed within this paper refer to: (i) A general view on the syntax-prosody interface, the nonisomorphism between the two facets of the language being conjectured as a proper subsumption mapping between syntax and prosody; (ii) Implementation of the TopicFocus Articulation (TFA) algorithm for the Romanian sentence, with novelties on Intonational TFA and interrogative se...
متن کاملExploring complex vowels as phrase break correlates in a corpus of English speech with proPOSEL, a prosody and POS English lexicon
Real-world knowledge of syntax is seen as integral to the machine learning task of phrase break prediction but there is a deficiency of a priori knowledge of prosody in both rule-based and data-driven classifiers. Speech recognition has established that pauses affect vowel duration in preceding words. Based on the observation that complex vowels occur at rhythmic junctures in poetry, we run sig...
