Das diesem Bericht zugrundeliegende Forschungsvorhaben wurde mit Mitteln des Bundesministers f ur Forschung und Technologie unter dem F orderkenn-zeichen 01 IV 102 H/0 und 01 IV 102 C 6 gef ordert. Die Verantwortung f ur den Inhalt dieser Arbeit liegt bei dem Autor. Abstract: In order to cope with the problems of spontaneous speech (including, for example, hesitations and non-words) it is necessary to extract from the speech signal all information it contains. Modeling of words by segmental units should be supported by suprasegmental units since valuable information is represented in the prosody of an utterance. We present an approach to exible and eecient modeling of speech by segmental units and describe extraction and use of suprasegmental information.

Language users benefit from special phonetic tools in order to communicate linguistic information as well as different emotional aspects and paralinguistic information through daily conversation. Having functions in conveying semantic information to listeners, prosodic features form the essential part of linguistic behavour, manipulating them potentially can play an important role in transmitt...

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 کاملAutomatic prosodic disorders analysis for impaired communication children
This paper is devoted to the study of a pseudo-phonetic approach to characterize prosodic disorders of children with impaired communication skills. To this purpose, we have designed with the help of the clinicians’ staff a database containing autistic children. Another database with non disordered speech is used as a control one. Concerning the characterization of the prosodic disorders, we ext...
متن کاملUnit Selection Speech Synthesis Using Phonetic-Prosodic Description of Speech Databases
This paper describes an approach to speech synthesis based on using speech databases at different stages of TTS process. Speech database units are phones in different segmental and prosodic contexts. Pitch synchronous segmentation and labeling of databases allows storing both segmental and prosodic information. Phonetic-prosodic annotations of speech databases are involved in off-line training ...
متن کاملModeling and recognition of phonetic and prosodic factors for improvements to acoustic speech recognition models
This paper examines the usefulness of including prosodic and phonetic context information in the phoneme model of a speech recognizer. This is done by creating a series of prosodic and phonetic models and then comparing the mutual information between the observations and each possible context variable. Prosodic variables show improvement less often than phone context variables, however, prosodi...
متن کاملChinese dialect identification using segmental and prosodic features.
Several approaches to Chinese dialect identification based on segmental and prosodic features of speech are described in this paper. When using segmental information only, the system performs phonotactic analysis after speech utterances have been tokenized into sequences of broad phonetic classes. The second scheme comprises prosodic models which are trained to capture tone sequence information...
