Morphophonographic regularities in German: the graphematic syllable boundary

Written Language & Literacy, 2014
It is widely acknowledged that the German writing system is not only phonographically structured but also represents morphological information (besides other grammatical information). Stem constancy, i.e. the graphic resemblance between morphologically related words, is the most prominent example of this.

Effects of syllable structure and syllable boundary on segment duration in Seoul Korean

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2000
The present study reports results of an investigation into Korean durational patterns with respect to syllable structure and syllable boundary. The main questions raised in this study were (1) whether different preceding syllable structures contribute to the durational patterns of the following segmental durations: closure duration, voice onset timing (

Morpheme Boundaries and Syllable Boundaries: A Case for Natural Phonology

1980
In generative phonology, syntactic considerations have traditionally played a considerable role in the formulation of phonological rules at the level of the word. Somewhat paradoxically, this tradition has obscured rather than clarified the issue of the relationship between phonology and morphology. A case in point is the way boundary symbols have been

Automatic marking of Punjabi syllables boundaries in a sound file

2010 2nd International Conference on Signal Processing Systems, 2010
Automatic Speech segmentation is one of the foremost important field for controlling the simulation of speech without intervening of human being. Segmenting the continuous speech signal according to the phonetic transcription is a fundamental task in any voice activated system. Manual segmentation is tedious, time consuming and error prone.

On the weakness of using strong syllables as word boundary markers.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1992
Previous research has shown that a strong–weak syllable distinction may play an important role in word segmentation. Cutler and Norris [JEP:HPP 14, 113–121 (1988)] asked subjects to identify words at the beginnings of two syllable nonwords. Subjects were faster to identify a word when the second syllable was weak than when it was strong.

Syllable boundary recognition from phonological linguistic unit string data

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1989
The present invention provides syllable boundaries from a string of phonological linguistic unit indicia and word boundary data. The syllable boundary recognizer places a syllable boundary either at the next following word boundary or prior to the second vowel phonological linguistic unit indicia following the prior syllable boundary based upon the ...

The Use of Prosodic Features to Derive Word and Syllable Boundaries

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1973
Spoken integers between 0 and 999 (e.g. “three hundred and seventy two”) were recorded by four speakers. For each utterance, a measure of the waveform amplitude (called the envelope) and pitch period estimates were recorded and plotted. It is shown that these two correlates can be used to predict word and syllable boundaries within each spoken integer.

Data-driven approaches for automatic detection of syllable boundaries

Interspeech 2004, 2004
Syllabification is an essential component of many speech and language processing systems. The development of automatic speech recognizers frequently requires working with subword units such as syllables. More importantly, syllabification is an inevitable part of speech synthesis system.

Bidirectional C-to-V coarticulation across syllable and word boundaries

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Extensive work has explored the anticipatory or carryover coarticulatory effects of consonants on F2 of adjacent vowels using locus equation. However, studies examining bidirectional effects remain scarce. This study examines how voicing and place of articulation (PoA) of consonants affect bidirectional C-to-V coarticulation across syllable and word ...

The influence of preceding syllable structure on intervocalic voicing boundary

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1980
The perception of an intervocalic b can be changed to p by lengthening the silenced closure interval. The slower the speaking rate, the longer the closure interval needed, roughly in proportion to the duration of the preceding syllable [Port, J. Acoust. Sec. Am. Suppl. 1 63, S20 (1978)].
