Pitch accents as multiparametric configurations of prosodic features – evidence from pitch-accent specific micro-rhythms in German [PDF]
, 2019 Pitch accents are typically described in terms of the alignment and shape of their F0 peaks. However, some studies suggest that pitch-accent peaks also create systematic duration and intensity changes in the triplet of pre-accented, accented, and post ...

Variation in intonation:A stochastic dynamical system for pitch accents and its inversion [PDF]
The literature on the pitch accents of American English (AE) reveals substantial variation across speakers and within accent categories, as well as variation in which pitch accent category is produced in a given discourse context. In this work we present

Learning to predict pitch accents and prosodic boundaries in Dutch
, 2003 We train a decision tree inducer (CART) and a memory-based classifier (MBL) on predicting prosodic pitch accents and breaks in Dutch text, on the basis of shallow, easy-to-compute features.

, 2010 Two production studies and one perception study were designed to systematically test F0 alignment and segment duration in Icelandic pitch accents with a view to investigating previous claims about the inventory of distinct intonational categories.

Abstract Contrastive Emphasis: Comparison of Pitch Accents with Syllable Magnitudes
, 2008 Contrastive emphasis as elicited from a semi-spontaneous dialogue paradigm was studied with respect to pitch accents and syllable magnitude. In this study, syllable magnitude is defined within the C/D model framework whereby the magnitude of the syllable

Greek wh-Questions and the Phonology of Intonation
, 2009 The intonation of Greek wh-questions consists of a rise-fall followed by a low plateau and a final rise. Using acoustic data, we show (i) that the exact contour shape depends on the length of the question, and (ii) that the position of the first peak and

From production to perception and back: An analysis of two pitch accents
, 2009 An analysis of Pisa Italian speech material revealed the existence of specific pitch accents associated with linguistic functions. Two of these accents are investigated in this paper: a rising accent found in continuation contours, narrow focus and ...

Prosodic pitch accents in language comprehension and production: ERP data and acoustic analyses
, 2006 We used event-related potentials (ERPs) and acoustic analyses to investigate the processing of prosodic pitch accents as a function of their position in a sentence. Accents in sentence-medial positions were characterized by a higher fundamental frequency

Wavelets for intonation modeling in HMM speech synthesis
, 2013 The pitch contour in speech contains information about different linguistic units at several distinct temporal scales. At the finest level, the microprosodic cues are purely segmental in nature, whereas in the coarser time scales, lexical tones, word ...
