Prosodic Weight

Natural Language & Linguistic Theory, 2019
Prosodic weight plays a central role in metrical systems, including stress, poetic meter, prosodic word minimality, and prosodic end-weight. In each, constraints regulate the interaction of weight and phonological strength. For example, in English, increasingly heavy syllables are increasingly likely to attract stress.

Measuring Prosodic Transfer in Vector Space by Weighted Tonal Events

2018 11th International Symposium on Chinese Spoken Language Processing (ISCSLP), 2018
Prosodic transfer plays a significant role in forming stereo-typed foreign accent, so measuring the transfer of non-native speakers is of great importance to language learning. Recent researches are trying to build intonation models to describe the transfer using f0 and break differences between the target and the gold standard.

Alignment of prosodic weight and musical length in Finnish vocal music textsetting

2022
In the study of textsetting, i.e., the alignment of lyrics to music in song writing, the rhythmic treatment of prosodic syllable weight in relation to note length has so far received less attention than other areas of prosody, such as stress prominence and pitch.

Weighting of prosodic cues in language discrimination by infants and adults

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2011
Previous research has shown that infants and adults can discriminate between prosodically similar languages using only prosodic cues. These experiments were designed to determine whether listeners use pitch cues or segmental duration and timing cues (i.e., rhythm cues) in language discrimination.

Infants’ use and weighting of prosodic cues in clause segmentation

Journal of Memory and Language, 2007
Abstract This paper investigates the acoustic properties of speech used by infant listeners to discover clauses in continuous speech. In a series of experiments using the Headturn Preference procedure, 6-month-old infants’ use and weighting of prosodic cues in their segmentation of clauses in continuous speech was explored.

Prosodic cue weighting in the processing of ambiguous sentences by native English listeners and Korean listeners of English

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2022
Differences in the perception of segmental contrasts by native and non-native listeners have been analyzed as the results of language-specific weightings of acoustic cues in their perception grammar [e.g., Escudero and Boersma, Stud. Second Lang. Acquis. 26, 551–585 (2004)]. However, less attention has been paid to the weighting of prosodic cues.

Prosodic Weight Effect on Focal Accent of Standard Chinese

Researching and Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language
This study investigates the phonetic performance of narrow information focus, as compared to broad focus, within different sentential positions of the Chinese Subject-Verb-Object (S+V+O) syntax structure. Three acoustic parameters of focus, including the pitch range ratio, duration ratio, and intensity ratio, were taken to explore the ranking among ...
