Formal Convergence between Melodic Composition and Arabic Prosody
نویسنده
چکیده
There is a paucity of studies on rhythm in world music in general and with regard to Arabic and Oriental cultures in particular. Musicological studies predominantly focus on acoustical scales, modes, timbre, harmony, etc., unfortunately neglecting a fundamental aspect of music, that is, rhythm and its complex relationship to melody, the accentuation of words in a given language, the intonation and prosodic organization of the poetic text that is set to music, and finally the performance of rhythm with its timbral characteristics.

Melodic Contour Training and Its Effect on Speech in Noise, Consonant Discrimination, and Prosody Perception for Cochlear Implant Recipients
Cochlear implant (CI) recipients generally have good perception of speech in quiet environments but difficulty perceiving speech in noisy conditions, reduced sensitivity to speech prosody, and difficulty appreciating music. Auditory training has been proposed as a method of improving speech perception for CI recipients, and recent efforts have focussed on the potential benefits of music-based t...
متن کاملSLAM: Automatic Stylization and Labelling of Speech Melody
This paper presents SLAM : a simple method for the automatic Stylization and LAbelling of speech Melody. This main contributions over existing methods are : the alphabet of melodic contours is fully data-driven, an explicit time-frequency representation is used to derive complex melodic contours, and melodic contours can be determined over arbitrary prosodic/syntactic units. Additionally, the s...
متن کاملOn Composition of Formal Power Series
Given a formal power series g(x) = b0 +b1x+b2x2 +··· and a nonunit f(x) = a1x+ a2x2+··· , it is well known that the composition of g with f , g(f(x)), is a formal power series. If the formal power series f above is not a nonunit, that is, the constant term of f is not zero, the existence of the composition g(f(x)) has been an open problem for many years. The recent development investigated the ...
متن کاملGenerating the Prosody of Attitudes
This paper presents a superpositional model of prosody where linguistic structures are directly encoded into the prosodic parameters via global melodic and rhythmic contours. This model is applied here to the generation of prosody specific to six common attitudes in French. Perceptual tests using high-quality TD-PSOLA re-synthesis show that predicted contours yield the same identification score...
متن کاملThe prosody of the TV news speaking style in Brazilian Portuguese
This study characterizes the prosodic structure of the TV news speaking style in Brazil and compares it to the speech of interview subjects on a television talk show. Fifteen distinct metrics, designed to characterize both temporal and melodic characteristics of speech, were evaluated on the two speaking styles. The results of the analysis show that the TV news speaking style is characterized b...
