A number of recent Optimality-Theoretic approaches to Nonconcatenative Templatic Morphologies (NTM) such as the verbal systems of Arabic and Hebrew have argued that NTMs do not require reification of the consonantal root (Bat-El, 1994 ; Ussishkin, 1999, 2000, 2005 ; Buckley, 2003). This article pres...

Introduction: Oral or oropharyngeal cancer affect the anatomical structures involved in speech production. Currently, speech assessment is mainly based on perceptual measurements, with many limitations in terms of reliability. The C2SI (Carcinologic Speech Severity Index) project allowed to buildan...

The aim of this thesis is to propose ways to improve the expressiveness of speech synthesis systems. One of the central propositions of this work is to define, use and measure the impact of linguistic structures operating beyond the sentence level, as opposed to approaches operating on sentences out...

This thesis is the first extensive description of Kam (àŋwɔ̀m), a Niger-Congo language spoken in Taraba State, central eastern Nigeria, by an estimated 8,000 to 10,000 people. It offers a typologically and areally informed analysis of the grammar and lexicon of Kam, thereby advancing our understand...

يعود نظام العروض الكردي إلى العروض العربي وإرثه الخليلي. مع ذلك وفي أغلب الأحيان يرجع الشعراء الأكراد الكلاسيكيون إلى الشعر الفارسي، وانطلاقا من ذلك فإن السؤال الذي نطرحه هو الآتي : هل استعمل الشعر الكردي العروض بسبب اتّصاله المباشر بالشعر العربي الكلاسيكي أم باتصاله بالشعر الفارسي الذي لعب دور الوس...

International audience Editorial In human communication through spoken language , segmental features serve a major role in the transmission of linguistic information of word meanings and, therefore, utterance contents. In contrast, prosodic features underlie higher-level information at the syntactic...

This book quickly shows the various philosophical concepts that have been reported since ancient times on the existence and manifestations of emotions in humans. It was then shown how, from the 20th century onwards, various paradigms embraced this field, such as the universalist paradigm, social con...

this test shows prosodists’ attempts to rate (score) the rate of poetry, including using rating systems borrowed from diatonic harmony. The rating has two contradictory impulses: the recording of a vote as a pre-existing vote, and the subsequent voting generation. In addition, it introduces a set of...

International audience This article presents the methods, results, and precision of the syntactic annotation process of the Rhapsodie Treebank of spoken French. The Rhapsodie Treebank is an 33,000 word corpus annotated for prosody and syntax, licensed in its entirety under Creative Commons. The synt...

International audience In everyday life, speech is accompanied by gestures. In the present study, two experiments tested the possibility that spontaneous gestures accompanying speech carry prosodic information. Experiment 1 showed that gestures provide prosodic information, as adults are able to per...

International audience This study aims at examining the links between marked structures in the syntactic and prosodic domains (fronting and focal accent), and the way the two types of contrast can be reinforced by gestures. It was conducted on a corpus of 1h30 of spoken French, involving three pairs...

In the analysis of prosody, both its linguistic uses and its regional or social variation, speaker-dependent prosodic variation is ubiquitous, in particular for pitch range. In large scale speech corpora such as Rhapsodie, the pitch range of individual speakers ranges from 8 to 24 semitones. This pa...

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 1985. Research interest in the prosody of English has increased in recent years and has resulted in detailed descriptions of some of the prosodic features of the language. There is also now evidence that the prosodic features are vital to c...

International audience We are glad our proposed methodological approach (1) raises interest in the community. Knight et al. (2) make two important theoretical considerations that we would like to further develop here. The first point they raise concerns the specificity of the pitch prototype of domi...

International audience The aim of the project is to develop an objective and empirical methodology for the analysis of non-verbal information obtained from speech corpora of several languages representative of different prosodic types. This will lead to obtaining fundamental knowledge about the pros...

International audience This paper presents a first sketch of the intonation and rich focus marking devices of Komotini Romani on the basis of an autosegmental-metrical analysis of spontaneous data prosody. Contrary to the "minimality condition" that has been argued to prevail in the choice of focus...

In this article, a detailed analysis of a narrative representative of the type of personal narrative described by Labov is presented as part of an analysis of the speech. The study shows that the canonic structure of the narrative as described by Labov is consistent with prosodic parameters (F0, spe...

International audience Little previous work has been concerned with the relation between prosody and spontaneous spoken discourse. In order to contribute to the development of a theorical framework which would integrate prosodic features into speech, I propose to incorporate in the principles of the...
