The previous literature has suggested that the hand movement in co-speech gestures and signs consists of a series of phases with qualitatively different dynamic characteristics. In this paper, we propose a syntagmatic rule system for movement phases that applies to both co-speech gestures and signs. Descriptive criteria for the rule system were developed for the analysis video-recorded continuo...

The point of interest in the present investigation is to find out and to make a pilot statistical presentation of the prominence distinguished by native speakers in read aloud texts taken from the Russian corpus for text-to-speech unit-selection synthesis. The TTS system uses the linguistic information encoded in the input text. Therefore the parameters which are easily extracted from the text ...

People make sense of a text by identifying semantic relations which connect the entities or concepts described by a text (cf. [2]). Therefore, in the search for smarter, more human-like, computer tools, we need to equip such tools with ability to identify and utilize semantic relations in processing the texts. In [4], we have dealt with the problem of mining real-estate listings. In this proble...

The Syntagmatic Paradigmatic model (SP; Dennis & Harrington 2001, Dennis submitted) and the Pooled Adjacent Context model (PAC; Redington, Chater & Finch 1998) are compared on their ability to extract syntactic, semantic and associative information from a corpus of text. On a measure of syntactic class (and subclass) information based on the WordNet lexical database (Miller 1990), the models pe...

At a large timescale, music pieces can be described as the succession of structural segments which form the global organization of the piece. The present article proposes a model called “System & Contrast”, which aims at describing the inner organization of such structural segments in terms of : (i) a carrier system, i.e. a sequence of morphological elements forming a matrix network of self-ded...
