This paper examines the acoustic correlates of accentual prominence in English spoken by L1 Bengali speakers. The acoustic phonetic correlates of stressed unaccented vowels, and stressed vowels produced in positions of narrow focus were compared. As observed for many varieties of English, the main correlates of accentual prominence in narrow focused contexts were presence of/and extent of f0 mo...

Unlike written language, where word boundaries are often denoted by blank spaces (e.g., le_chat „the_cat‟), for spoken language, no single device allows for the reliable identification of word boundaries: words are typically uttered without a pause between them, and sound processes further blur word boundaries. A crucial challenge for second/foreign language (L2) learners is that the cues to wo...

This paper presents some reasons to take a functional perspective in intonation modelling into account. We distinguish two functional prosodic unit types that are functionally equivalent: an elementary one the accentual units (AUs) and other, nonelementarythe AU groups (AUGs). Their functions at the communicative act level give meanings to corresponding F0 contour segments. A functional categor...

This study investigates the phonetics of German nuclear rise-fall contours in relation to contexts that trigger either a contrastive or a non-contrastive interpretation in the answer. A rise-fall contour can be conceived of a tonal sequence of L-H-L. A production study elicited target sentences in contrastive and non-contrastive contexts. The majority of cases realized showed a nuclear rise-fal...

This study investigates effects of three prosodic factors—prosodic boundary (Utterance-initial vs. Utterance-medial), lexical stress (primary vs. secondary) and phrasal accent (accented vs. unaccented)—on articulatory and acoustic realizations of word-initial CVs (/nε/, /tε/) in trisyllabic English words. Articulatory measurements include linguopalatal contact (by electropalatography) for both ...
