The Effect of Tempo on Prosodic Structure
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study investigates the effect of tempo on prosodic structuring at both temporal and melodic levels. Readings of a German text are examined to ascertain to what extent changes in pausing, prosodic phrasing, pitch accent structure and F0 realisations contribute towards strategies for speaking at a faster or slower speed than normal. Furthermore, speeding up strategies are compared to those for slowing down, to investigate how far the speakers' behaviour is symmetrical with respect to each of the parameters examined.

Prosodic effects on segmental durations in greek
This is an acoustic study of prosodic effects on segmental durations with reference to syllable structure, stress, focus and tempo in Greek. Disyllabic nonsense words with one, or two, or three consonants in the initial syllable were examined in stressed/unstressed, focused/unfocused and normal/fast tempo productions in a carrier sentence contexts. The results indicate that: (1) syllabic onset ...
متن کاملThe Prosody of Discourse Structure and Content in the Production of Persian EFL Learners
The present research addressed the prosodic realization of global and local text structure and content in the spoken discourse data produced by Persian EFL learners. Two newspaper articles were analyzed using Rhetorical Structure Theory. Based on these analyses, the global structure in terms of hierarchical level, the local structure in terms of the relative importance of text segments and the ...

The present study is an experimental investigation of the effects of prosodic variables on segmental durations in Greek. Nonsense disyllabic CVCV words were produced in a carrier sentence under different conditions of stress, focus and tempo. The results indicate: (1) the intrinsic durations of vowels are rather canonical in the order /iu<eo<a/; (2) the adjacent consonant /s/ shows complementar...
متن کاملThe effect of bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) on the acoustic and prosodic features in patients with Parkinson’s disease: A study protocol for the first trial on Iranian patients
Background: The effect of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) on the voice features in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is controversial. No study has evaluated the voice features of PD underwent STN-DBS by the acoustic, perceptual, and patient-based assessments comprehensively. Furthermore, there is no study to investigate prosodic features before and after DBS in PD. The curren...
متن کاملTheoretical Structural and Spectral Analyses of TEMPO Radical Derivatives of Fullerene
The spectroscopic properties of the 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) radicalderivatives of the fullerene (C60) were theoretically investigated. The ground state optimizedstructures of the radical adducts of the fullerene were calculated by using DFT (B3LYP) with 6-31G(d) level. It was concluded that a 6-6 ring junction of C60 moiety generally covalently links to thepiperidine ring ...
