Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 The ability to convey emotion through variations in tone of voice (affective prosody) is crucial for normal social interaction. Our goals were to: (1) test the hypothesis that there are double dissociations in impairment of expression and recognition of

Phone-Level Prosody Modelling with GMM-Based MDN for Diverse and Controllable Speech Synthesis [PDF]
, 2021 Generating natural speech with a diverse and smooth prosody pattern is a challenging task. Although random sampling with phone-level prosody distribution has been investigated to generate different prosody patterns, the diversity of the generated speech is still very limited and far from what can be achieved by humans. This is largely due to the use of

, 2000 We describe the acoustic-prosodic and syntactic-prosodic annotation and classification of boundaries, accents and sentence mood integrated in the Verbmobil system for the three languages German, English, and Japanese. For the acoustic-prosodic classification, a large feature vector with normalized prosodic features is used.

ERP evidence for the recognition of emotional prosody through simulated cochlear implant strategies
BMC Neuroscience, 2012 Background Emotionally salient information in spoken language can be provided by variations in speech melody (prosody) or by emotional semantics. Emotional prosody is essential to convey feelings through speech.

Production of prosodic cues in coordinate name sequences addressing varying interlocutors
Laboratory Phonology, 2021 Prosodic boundaries can be used to disambiguate the syntactic structure of coordinated name sequences (coordinates). To answer the question whether disambiguating prosody is produced in a situationally dependent or independent manner and to contribute to

IQDUBBING: Prosody modeling based on discrete self-supervised speech representation for expressive voice conversion [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Prosody modeling is important, but still challenging in expressive voice conversion. As prosody is difficult to model, and other factors, e.g., speaker, environment and content, which are entangled with prosody in speech, should be removed in prosody modeling. In this paper, we present IQDubbing to solve this problem for expressive voice conversion. To

Pitch Processing in Children with Williams Syndrome: Relationships between Music and Prosody Skills
Brain Sciences, 2014 Williams syndrome (WS), a genetic neurodevelopmental disorder, has been taken as evidence that music and language constitute separate modules. This research focused on the linguistic component of prosody and aimed to assess whether relationships exist ...

Theory and Practice of Forensic Science, 2021 The relevance of the study of the prosodic structure of speech acts of abuse is due to the tasks faced by an expert linguist in the study of oral discourse. The present study is experimental; in its course, for the first time, a set of universal and individual prosodic means used when pronouncing a conflict statement with signs of verbal aggression is ...
