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

Integrating Prosodic and Lexical Cues for Automatic Topic Segmentation [PDF]

, 2000
We present a probabilistic model that uses both prosodic and lexical cues for the automatic segmentation of speech into topically coherent units. We propose two methods for combining lexical and prosodic information using hidden Markov models and ...

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 ...

Rhythm in the speech of a person with right hemisphere damage: Applying the pairwise variability index [PDF]

, 2007
Although several aspects of prosody have been studied in speakers with right hemisphere damage (RHD), rhythm remains largely uninvestigated. This study compares the rhythm of an Australian English speaker with right hemisphere damage (due to a stroke ...

Overt and implicit prosody contribute to neurophysiological responses previously attributed to grammatical processing

Scientific Reports, 2022
Recent neurophysiological research suggests that slow cortical activity tracks hierarchical syntactic structure during online sentence processing. Here we tested an alternative hypothesis: electrophysiological activity peaks at constituent phrase as well
