Camp: A Two-Stage Approach to Modelling Prosody in Context [PDF]
IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2020 Prosody is an integral part of communication, but remains an open problem in state-of-the-art speech synthesis. There are two major issues faced when modelling prosody: (1) prosody varies at a slower rate compared with other content in the acoustic ...

Robust and Fine-grained Prosody Control of End-to-end Speech Synthesis [PDF]
IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2018 We propose prosody embeddings for emotional and expressive speech synthesis networks. The proposed methods introduce temporal structures in the embedding networks, thus enabling fine-grained control of the speaking style of the synthesized speech.

Oxytocin does not improve emotional prosody recognition in schizophrenia-spectrum disorders
Comprehensive Psychoneuroendocrinology, 2020 Schizophrenia-spectrum disorders (SSD) are associated with deficits in emotional prosody recognition. Whether administration of oxytocin can improve emotional prosody recognition accuracy in SSD is unknown.

Brain Sciences, 2021 Difficulty recognizing affective prosody (receptive aprosodia) can occur following right hemisphere damage (RHD). Not all individuals spontaneously recover their ability to recognize affective prosody, warranting behavioral intervention.

Fine-grained robust prosody transfer for single-speaker neural text-to-speech [PDF]
Interspeech, 2019 We present a neural text-to-speech system for fine-grained prosody transfer from one speaker to another. Conventional approaches for end-to-end prosody transfer typically use either fixed-dimensional or variable-length prosody embedding via a secondary ...

SEMANTIC PROSODY OF THE LEMMA VACCINE IN THE MEDIA TEXTS
Філологічні студії, 2021 This paper discusses the results of the corpus-based analysis of the semantic prosody of collocations with VACCINE in the broadsheet ‘The Guardian’. The corpus has been processed with the help of Sketch Engine.

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

Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 In computerised technology, artificial speech is becoming increasingly important, and is already used in ATMs, online gaming and healthcare contexts. However, today’s artificial speech typically sounds monotonous, a main reason for this being the lack of

Emotional Speech Comprehension in Deaf Children with Cochlear Implant
Psychology of Language and Communication, 2020 We examined the understanding of emotional speech by deaf children with cochlear implant (CI). Thirty deaf children with CI and 60 typically developing controls (matched on chronological age or hearing age) performed a computerized task featuring ...

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
