Phrase-initial boundary tones in Hungarian interrogatives and exclamatives [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
There is a group of wh-interrogatives and wh-exclamatives in Hungarian that are distinguished only by means of prosody. It was shown previously that the distinction consists in having falling pitch accents on the wh-element in interrogatives, and rising ...

Prosodic Event Recognition using Convolutional Neural Networks with Context Information

open access: yes, 2017
This paper demonstrates the potential of convolutional neural networks (CNN) for detecting and classifying prosodic events on words, specifically pitch accents and phrase boundary tones, from frame-based acoustic features. Typical approaches use not only

Three‐dimensional Antimony Sulfide Based Flat Optics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents the development of a grayscale electron beam lithography (g‐EBL) method for fabricating antimony trisulfide (Sb2S3) nanostructures with customizable 3D profiles. The refractive index of g‐EBL patterned Sb2S3 is determined based on the synergy of genetic algorithm and transfer matrix method.

De l'ambiguïté dans les interrogations fermées en russe moderne [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In this paper, we intend to show how ambiguity can be cleared in positive polar (yes/no) questions in modern Russian. For the purpose of our study, we will analyze three interrogative transitive predicate structures (svO[1], sVo and soV).

What Makes Speakers Omit Pitch Accents ? An Experiment

open access: yesPhonetica, 1982
Abstract The present paper reports on an experiment which was set up to examine whether we can make a speaker either accent or de-accent particular words by systematically varying the objective probability that a particular referent will be mentioned (and therewith the referent’s predictability for speaker and listener).
