Modelling Lexical Stress
نویسندگان
چکیده
Human listeners use lexical stress for word segmentation and disambiguation. We look into using lexical stress for speech recognition by examining a Dutch-language corpus. We propose that different spectral features are needed for different phonemes and that, besides vowels, consonants should be taken into account.

Cross phone state clustering using lexical stress and context
This study deals with acoustic phonetic modelling in HMM based continuous speech recognition. Context dependent phone models were derived by a decision tree clustering algorithm. In particular, lexical stress was introduced as a clustering variable in addition to the phonetic context. The parameter sharing model was extended by tying HMM states across different target phones. For instance, one ...
متن کاملProduction of English Lexical Stress by Persian EFL Learners
This study examines the phonetic properties of lexical stress in English produced by Persian speakers learning English as a foreign language. The four most reliable phonetic correlates of English lexical stress, namely fundamental frequency, duration, intensity, and vowel quality were measured across Persian speakers’ production of the stressed and unstressed syllables of five English disyllabi...

متن کاملVisual lexical stress information in audiovisual spoken-word recognition
Listeners use suprasegmental auditory lexical stress information to resolve the competition words engage in during spoken-word recognition. The present study investigated whether (a) visual speech provides lexical stress information, and, more importantly, (b) whether this visual lexical stress information is used to resolve lexical competition. Dutch word pairs that differ in the lexical stres...
متن کاملModelling Lexical Decision: Who needs a lexicon?
The problem of modelling lexical decision in connectionist models is discussed. It is shown how lexical decision can be performed by a simple neural network with no explicit lexicon and no recurrent connections. We also see how simulated reaction times can be extracted from such systems that are in broad agreement with various experimental data concerning semantic and associative priming.
