Fully-Hierarchical Fine-Grained Prosody Modeling For Interpretable Speech Synthesis [PDF]
IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2020 This paper proposes a hierarchical, fine-grained and interpretable latent variable model for prosody based on the Tacotron 2 text-to-speech model. It achieves multi-resolution modeling of prosody by conditioning finer level representations on coarser ...

Collocation, semantic prosody and near synonymy: A cross-linguistic perspective. [PDF]
, 2006 This paper explores the collocational behaviour and semantic prosody of near synonyms from a cross-linguistic perspective. The importance of these concepts to language learning is well recognized.

Generating Diverse and Natural Text-to-Speech Samples Using a Quantized Fine-Grained VAE and Autoregressive Prosody Prior [PDF]
IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2020 Recent neural text-to-speech (TTS) models with fine-grained latent features enable precise control of the prosody of synthesized speech. Such models typically incorporate a fine-grained variational autoencoder (VAE) structure, extracting latent features ...

Cadernos de Linguística, 2021 This paper focuses on the experience of spoken corpora compilation and discusses the relevance of prosody in this type of endeavor, as well as in the study of spoken language in its several possibilities. Through the voices of scholars associated with four different projects (CorpAfroAs, Mohawk Corpus, LABLITA, C-ORAL-BRASIL), the steps considered of ...

Speech Prosody in Mental Disorders
Annual Review of Linguistics, 2022 In response to uncovering brain mechanisms underlying vocal communication and searching for biomarkers for mental illnesses, speech prosody has been increasingly studied in recent years in multiple disciplines, including psycholinguistics.

CopyCat: Many-to-Many Fine-Grained Prosody Transfer for Neural Text-to-Speech [PDF]
Interspeech, 2020 Prosody Transfer (PT) is a technique that aims to use the prosody from a source audio as a reference while synthesising speech. Fine-grained PT aims at capturing prosodic aspects like rhythm, emphasis, melody, duration, and loudness, from a source audio ...

Mark my words: tone of voice changes affective word representations in memory. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The present study explored the effect of speaker prosody on the representation of words in memory. To this end, participants were presented with a series of words and asked to remember the words for a subsequent recognition test. During study, words were

La Bretagne linguistique, 1993 Comment la langue et son accentuation s’adaptent-elles aux contraintes de la mélodie ? De ces deux éléments, qu’est-ce qui prime dans l’élaboration d’un chant ? La mise en évidence de la relation entre l’accentuation des paroles et celle de la mélodie est le but de la prosodie musicale.

“Textual Prosody” Can Change Impressions of Reading in People With Normal Hearing and Hearing Loss
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 Recently, dynamic text presentation, such as scrolling text, has been widely used. Texts are often presented at constant timing and speed in conventional dynamic text presentation.

Hierarchical Prosody Modeling for Non-Autoregressive Speech Synthesis [PDF]
Spoken Language Technology Workshop, 2020 Prosody modeling is an essential component in modern text-to-speech (TTS) frameworks. By explicitly providing prosody features to the TTS model, the style of synthesized utterances can thus be controlled.
