Acoustic-phonetic realisation of polish syllable prominence: a corpus study of spontaneous speech Akustyczno-fonetyczna realizacja wzmocnienia polskiej sylaby: korpusowe badanie mowy spontanicznej

چکیده
Polish presents an interesting case for testing alternative phonetic implementations of prominence: It has fixed lexical stress on the penultimate, it has been difficult to classify within the classic ‘stress-timing’ vs. ‘syllable-timing’ dichotomy [1, 2, inter alia] and its stress is regarded as ‘weakly expressed’ [3]. We investigate acoustic correlates of Polish prominence patterns in a corpus of spontaneous, task-oriented dialogue. Results indicate clear differences to prior analyses of more controlled data, with intensity but also duration and pitch movement being main indicators of prominence.

The Acoustic Realization of Prosodic Prominence in Polish: Word-level Stress and Phrase-level Accent
The current study addresses the question of how word-level (“stress”) and phraseor sentence-level prominence (“accent”) is realized in Polish. For this purpose, a production experiment eliciting semi-spontaneous utterances was conducted, closely following the methodological approach introduced in [1]. Our acoustic analyses are based on identical target syllables which are embedded in sentences ...
متن کاملReliable Prominence Identification in English Spontaneous Speech
This paper presents a follow up of a study on the automatic detection of prosodic prominence in spontaneous speech. Prosodic prominence involves two different prosodic features, pitch accent and stress, that are typically based on four acoustic parameters: fundamental frequency (F0) movements, overall syllable energy, syllable nuclei duration and mid-tohigh-frequency emphasis. A careful measure...

This paper describes work directed towards the development of a syllable prominence-based prosody generation functionality for a German unit selection speech synthesis system. A general concept for syllable prominence-based prosody generation in unit selection synthesis is proposed. As a first step towards its implementation, an automated syllable prominence annotation procedure based on acoust...

متن کاملAcoustics of stød size=2>in Livonian
The paper focuses on the phonetic realisation of the Livonian stød. An investigation of the temporal and tonal characteristics of words with and without stød consisting of a long first syllable and a short second syllable in spontaneous speech was carried out. The changes in pitch alignment, durations and duration ratios of the syllables in disyllabic words were analysed and the role of intensi...
