Abstract:
According to the Prosodic Bootstrapping Hypothesis, infants use prosody to support syntax acquisition (Morgan, 1986). Our previous work provides evidence that infants treat prosodically-marked units as moveable constituents. In order to investigate the mechanism underlying this effect, we tested Japanese-acquiring infants on their ability to use prosody to locate clauses in an English-based artificial grammar. The Japanese infants were able to learn from English prosody, suggesting that prosodic bootstrapping relies on prosody's general acoustic properties. It appears that prosodic cues to syntax are robust enough across languages to be used without extensive knowledge of language-specific prosody.

Abstract:
Prosody in Tamil has changed and developed from time to time. Prosody itself helps in the creation of traditional poems. Apart from creating traditional poems, prosody is also a tool for knowing the structure and meaning of songs composed on the basis of a tradition dating back to ancient times. It is prosody that lays down the rules for the style of the verse, which treats the subject matter of the book with sound and appearance. If the ideas expressed are in the style of a poem, then the prose has no use for the reciter. That is why, compared to prose, the style of the poem becomes superior. Since all our ancient texts are composed in the style of poetry, the practice of prosody is essential for our fullest experience of them. Tolkappiya poetry is an uncommon component of understanding the structure of ancient Tamil poetry. The former praised the prosodic features and developed them from time to time. The Tholkappiyar was also well-versed in the prosodic system that existed before him. He praises the creators of prosody that existed before him as 'Yaappari Pulavar (Poets who know Prosody)'. Tolkappiyam is the first book we have today to expound the Prosody. After Tholkappiyam, books such as Kakkaipaadiniyam, Avinayam, Yaapparungalam, Yaapparungalakaarikai, Veerachozhiyam, Muthuveeriyam, Palkaayam, etc., have appeared to describe prosody. It is natural that from time to time the emergence of new types of prosody and changes in old prosodic types occur. Therefore, the prosody explained by other poets’ texts differs in some respects from the grammatical trend of Tholkappiyar. This article is based on how Tolkappiyar's opinion about prosodic parts in the grammar of prosody has been changed or different in the prosodic texts that appeared after him.

Abstract:
Tokoh Werkudara (WR) memiliki kekhasan yang menjadikan tokoh tersebut unik dan berbeda dibanding tokoh lainya dalam pementasan wayang purwa. Secara kebahasaan tokoh WR memiliki gaya berbicara kasar dan tidak pernah berbicara halus, dan cenderung tidak santun terhadap mitra tuturnya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mendeskripsikan pola prosodi strategi kesantunan tindak tutur direktif yang dilakukan tokoh Werkudara dalam wayang purwa. Penelitian ini menggunakan data tindak tutur direktif yang dilakukan tokoh Werkudara dalam lakon Dewa Ruci dengan pemilihan kalimat target tindak tutur direktif requestives sub fungsi meminta dengan struktur S-P-Pel aku jaluk pamit dan tindak tutur direktif questions sub fungsi bertanya dengan strutur apa-S?. Sumber penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah rekaman video pementasan wayang lakon Dewa Ruci oleh Ki Nartosabdo. Data tuturan tersebut diproses dengan menggunakan aplikasi Praat dengan berpedoman pada aturan IPO (Instituut voor Perceptie Onderzoek) guna menggambarkan dan mempersepsikan aspek prosodi dari tuturan Werkudara kepada masing-masing mitratuturnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori pragmatik sebagai pisau bedah guna menjelaskan hubungan pola prosodi dalam membangun kesatunan dengan mitra tutur. Hasil penelitian ini dapat dijelaskan tiga pola prosodi dalam tindak tutur direktif Werkudara, yaitu pertama, konteks mitra tutur (+D, +P ‘met’) dalam tuturanya Werkudara menggunakan pola prosodi kontur nada turun atau deklinasi, julat nada tinggi (melodis), dan durasi panjang. Kedua konteks mitra tutur (-D, +P ‘met’) menggunakan pola prosodi kontur nada turun atau deklinasi, julat nada kecil (monoton), dan durasi panjang. Ketiga, konteks mitra tutur (+D, +P ‘mat’) menggunakan pola prosodi kontur nada naik atau inklinasi, julat nada kecil (monoton), dan durasi pendek.Kata kunci: wayang purwa, werkudara, tindak tutur direktif, pola prosodi POLITENESS STRATEGY OF DIRECTIVE SPEECH ACT OF WERKUDARA IN THE WAYANG PURWA: A PROSODIC ANALYSISAbstract The Werkudara (WR) character has a peculiarity that makes this character unique and different from other characters in the shadow-puppet performances. Linguistically, the WR character has a harsh speaking style, never speaks softly, and tends to be disrespectful to his speech partners. The purpose of this study is to describe the prosody pattern of the directive speech acts of the politeness strategy performed by the Werkudara character in the puppet performance. This study uses the directive speech-act data performed by the character Werkudara in Dewa Ruci's play by selecting the target sentence directive speech-act requestives requesting sub-function with the structured target sentences S-P-Pel ‘aku jaluk pamit’ and the directive speech acts question sub-function of asking with the structure what-S?. The research source used in this study was the video recording of the Dewa Ruci puppet performance by Ki Nartosabdo. Furthermore, the speech data is processed using the Praat application guided by the IPO rules (Instituut voor Perceptie Onderzoek) to describe and perceive the prosody aspects of Werkudara's speech to each of his partners. This study uses the pragmatic theory as a tool to explain prosody patterns in building politeness with speech partners. The results of the study indicate the three prosody patterns in the speech acts of the Werkudara as follows. First, the context of the speech partners (+ D, + P 'met') in Werkudara's speech uses the prosody pattern of downward pitch or declination contours, high pitch range (melodic), and long duration. Second, the two contexts of speech partners (-D, + P 'met') use a downward or declination prosody pattern, a small pitch range (monotone), and a long duration. Third, the context of speech partners (+ D, + P 'mat') uses a prosody pattern of rising or inclination contours, small pitch ranges (monotone), and short duration.Keys word: shadow puppet, Werkudara, directive speech acts, prosody patterns.

Abstract:
This study aims to analyze the prosody in the Batak Toba language using an acoustic-phonetic approach. The measurement of experimental speech sounds uses spectrum analysis with computer assistance. Using recordings from a Sony ICD-PX 470 recorder, which are saved in WAV files, and Praat software version 6.0.54, suprasegmental or prosodic features can be analyzed. These suprasegmental or prosodic features include the high and low frequency of the sound and the intensity and duration of the speech. Data for the research was collected from declarative and imperative utterances by 20 male and 20 female Batak Toba native speakers and analyzed using spectrographs. The experimental method in this research shows the differences in prosody in male and female utterances so the characteristics of prosody between the two types of gender can be identified. The writer indicates that the frequency and intensity of female sounds are higher than male sounds in the two kinds of utterances. However, the duration required by males to pronounce the two utterances was longer than that required by females.AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis prosodi yang terdapat dalam bahasa Batak Toba dengan menggunakan pendekatan fonetik akustik. Pengukuran bunyi ujaran eksperimental menggunakan analisis spektrum dengan bantuan komputer. Menggunakan rekaman dari perekam Sony ICD-PX 470 yang disimpan dalam file WAV dan perangkat lunak Praat versi 6.0.54, fitur-fitur suprasegmental atau prosodi dapat dianalisis. Fitur-fitur suprasegmental atau prosodi mencakup frekuensi tinggi rendahnya nada bunyi, intensitas, dan durasi penuturan bunyi. Data penelitian berasal dari ujaran deklaratif dan imperatif yang dituturkan oleh 20 laki-laki dan 20 perempuan penutur asli Batak Toba dan dianalisis menggunakan spektograf. Penelitian dengan menggunakan metode eksperimen ini menunjukkan perbedaan prosodi yang terdapat dalam tuturan laki-laki dan perempuan sehingga dapat ditemukan ciri-ciri khas prosodi antara kedua jenis kelamin tersebut. Penulis mengindikasikan bahwa nilai frekuensi suara dan intensitas suara yang dihasilkan perempuan lebih tinggi dari yang dihasilkan laki-laki dalam kedua ujaran tersebut. Namun, durasi yang dibutuhkan oleh laki-laki untuk menuturkan kedua ujaran tersebut ternyata lebih lama dibandingkan perempuan.

Abstract:
This article provides an overview of current and historically important issues in the study of the syntax–prosody interface, the point of interaction between syntactic structure and phrase-level phonology. We take a broad view of the syntax–prosody interface, surveying both direct and indirect reference theories, with a focus on evaluating the continuing prominent role of prosodic hierarchy theory in shaping our understanding of this area of linguistics. Specific topics discussed in detail include the identification of prosodic domains, the universality of prosodic categories, the recent resurgence of interest in the role of recursion in prosodic structure, crosslinguistic variation in syntax–prosody mapping, prosodic influences on syntax and word order, and the influence of sentence processing in the planning and shaping of prosodic domains. We consider criticisms of prosodic hierarchy theory in particular, and provide an assessment of the future of prosodic hierarchy theory in research on the syntax–prosody interface.

Abstract:
Affective prosodic features, such as syllabification and fundamental frequency, are important aspects of human communication. Praat software has enabled detailed analysis of prosody but is usually used to analyze small snippets of task-based speech. To study prosody in more ecologically valid ten-minute conversations, we designed Prosodyad, a Praat script designed to extract several emotionally salient prosodic features from conversations between two people. Prosodyad is designed to overcome several technical obstacles inherent to multiple speakers by using human labeling on Praat “textgrids” to analyze signals only from noise-free, non-overlapping speech. Prosodyad works over lists of matched textgrids and audio files, extracting salient features such as F0 floor, minimum, maximum, and standard deviation, mean and standard deviation of F1 and F2, HF500, and intensity mean, min, max, and SD, and a syllable count for each unbroken interval. Floor and ceiling for pitch, windowing options for the analysis, as well as max formant as well as thresholds for ASD can be set by the user. We illustrate potential research and clinical applications and give examples of analyses relevant to ten-minute conversations among people with dementia.

Abstract:
Abstract Purpose: Prosodic abnormalities are commonly recognized to be present in the speech of individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) and hypokinetic dysarthria. Emerging evidence also suggests that deficits in the receptive processing of prosody are present in individuals with PD. This paper reviews aspects of prosody in PD, including the perceptual and acoustic features and their effect on communication; receptive deficits in prosodic processing; and the effects of medical, surgical, and behavioral treatments on prosody. Methods: Published reports on the above listed aspects of prosody in PD are reviewed and reported. Results and Conclusions: The perceptual and acoustic characteristics of prosodic impairments in PD are well defined. Perceptually, the principal prosodic features include monopitch, reduced stress, monoloudness, and rate abnormalities. The most common acoustic findings are decreased variability of fundamental frequency (F0) and intensity. A growing literature also suggests that the basal ganglia are critical in receptively processing prosodic information, which is impaired in PD. The role of medical and surgical treatment of PD on speech prosody remains unclear but, overall, appears limited. Behavioral treatments for prosodic disturbance appear promising, though further study is required.

AbstractThis study explores how young children infer nuances in epistemic modality through prosody. A forced-choice task was used, testing children's (ages three to seven) comprehension of the might/will distinction (modal condition) as well their ability to modulate the strength of might through two prosodic tunes (prosody condition). Positive and negative valence conditions were included. Younger children were shown to start off performing above chance for the modal condition, and at around chance for the prosody condition, but after age four performance on the prosody condition quickly improved. For both modal verbs and prosody, children performed significantly better when valence was positive. By age seven, children performed at ceiling for all conditions. Qualitative analysis of children's justifications for prosody responses showed metalinguistic awareness of prosodic meaning as early as age four, with the ability to relate prosody to epistemic modal meaning becoming quite common by age seven.

Abstract:
Este artículo explora la noción de prosodia y su relación con la composición musical. El estudio lingüístico de la prosodia se ocupa de la energía, los ritmos y las entonaciones de los patrones del habla y cómo estos impactan en el significado de las expresiones. Está claro que hay correspondencias considerables entre los elementos prosódicos del lenguaje –sus ritmos, acentos y entonaciones– y la música; la prosodia es, con mucho, el elemento del lenguaje más cercano al sonido musical –en oposición al significado semántico o incluso pragmático–. El estudio de la prosodia revela muchas de las características del estado emocional o expresivo de un hablante, del mismo modo que inferimos el contenido emocional de la música a partir de la interpretación de una obra. ¿Qué hay de la relación entre prosodia y composición? El vínculo entre la prosodia y la composición musical ha sido muy significativo en momentos particulares de la historia, pero faltan estudios completos sobre esta conexión. Este artículo tiene como objetivo abordar esta falta de investigación tomando como punto de partida el análisis de mi propia obra. Con estas ideas en mente ofrezco una visión general de las conexiones entre la prosodia y la composición musical, y examino algunos trabajos psicolingüísticos actuales sobre el tema. A continuación reflexiono sobre mi enfoque compositivo utilizando la prosodia como fuente de inspiración en dos obras propias: I Have a Dream para oboe solo y Romancero gitano para pianista-recitador. Cierro el artículo con unas reflexiones finales. Palabras clave: análisis, composición, Federico García Lorca, Manuel Martínez Burgos, I Have a Dream, Romancero gitano Prosody as a source of inspiration in composition, analysis of two 0wn pieces: I Have a Dream and Romancero gitano AbstractThis article explores the notion of prosody and its relationship to musical composition. The linguistic study of prosody is concerned with the energy, rhythms and intonations of speech patterns, and how these impact on the meaning of utterances. It is clear that there are considerable correspondences between the prosodic elements of language—its rhythms, stresses, and intonations—and music; it is by far the closest element of language to musical sound—as opposed to semantic or even pragmatic meaning. The study of prosody reveals many of the features of any speaker's emotional or expressive state, in the same way that we infer emotional content in music from the performance of a work. But what of the relationship between prosody and composition? The link between prosody and musical composition has been very significant at particular moments in history yet there is a lack of any thorough scholarship on this connection. This article aims to address this research gap taking two of my pieces as a starting point. With these ideas in mind, I provide an overview of the connections between prosody and music composition, and examine some current psycho-linguistic work on the subject. I then reflect on my compositional approach using prosody as a source of inspiration in two of my own works: I Have a Dream for solo oboe and Romancero gitano for pianist-reciter. I close the article with some final reflections. Keywords: analysis, composition, Federico García Lorca, Manuel Martínez Burgos, I Have a Dream, Romancero gitano

Abstract:
In language acquisition, children use prosody in their comprehension and production of utterances. In line with that, as a case study in this research, I analyze two particular aspects of prosody in a child’s language acquisition, i.e. prosodic phrasal grouping and intonational prominence. In the first aspect, I investigate whether the child uses prosodic phrases to group words together into interpretable units. In the second aspect, I analyze whether the child uses intonational prominence to focus marking prosody. The result indicates that both aspects are used by the child.Keywords: language acquisition, prosody, intonation, phonetic cues.

Abstract:
Fundamental frequency (F0) is the most important feature among the components of prosody in a language, tone and intonation languages alike. In a tone language, how lexical tone and sentence intonation can both use F0 as their main acoustic cues has long been an intriguing question. Will the lexical tones be so resistant to modification that no elaborate intonation is possible in the language? How much of the surface sentential F0 is attributable to lexical tones and intonation? If F0 modification is kept minimal, how will prosodic focus be realized? And will the lack of focus-related F0 change be a disadvantage in terms of focus perception? In this dissertation, experimental studies have been made on Cantonese in some less well-understood aspects of its prosody. Firstly, the tonal characteristics of sentence-final particles (SFPs) in Cantonese as a special case of the interaction between tone and intonation are examined. Secondly, the acoustic correlates of prosodic focus in Cantonese are explored. SFPs are a class of words known to have functions similar to intonation. It is not yet clear, however, whether the F0 contours of SFPs are derived purely from lexical tones, purely intonational, or a combination of tone and intonation. As an attempt to offer a solution, a production experiment was designed in which sentences in Hong Kong Cantonese with ten different SFPs were recorded and detailed analyses of their F0 contours, final F0, final F0 velocity and duration were performed. The results show that most of these SFPs are very similar to the lexical tones in terms of F0 contours, but there are significant differences in durations in more than half the cases. In addition, the occurrence of an SFP does not give rise to differences in F0 and duration in the syllables preceding the SFP in most cases. But differences can be seen in sentences with question SFPs, which indicates that the prosody of the SFPs may be partly due to intonational meanings. One of the SFPs, however, exhibits a component F0 contour that seems to be sequentially attached to the end of the lexical tonal component. These findings suggest that Cantonese SFPs have underlying tonal targets just like those of lexical tones, but they also carry intonational meanings by modifying the lexical tonal contours. Previous research has shown that Beijing Mandarin, a tone language, marks focus not only by on-focus prosodic expansion like many other languages, but also by post-focus compression of pitch range and intensity (PFC). However, recently it is found that PFC is absent in Taiwanese and Taiwan Mandarin, two languages closely related to Beijing Mandarin. This finding both highlights the non-universality of PFC and raises questions about its origin. The present study explores these issues by investigating focus production in Cantonese by native Cantonese speakers born and raised in Hong Kong, and in English and Cantonese by bilingual speakers who were born and raised in Southern England. Results from the Hong Kong speakers show that, just as in Taiwanese and Taiwan Mandarin, PFC is absent in Cantonese, and mean F0, duration, intensity and excursion size were found to be higher in on-focus words. Results from the bilingual speakers show that their Cantonese also lacks PFC. More remarkably, out of the fifteen bilinguals tested, only one-third show PFC in all their English test sentences. These findings suggest that PFC is hard to transmit across languages through bilingualism. Moreover, the differential prosodic patterns among the bilingual speakers suggest that in the bilingual community, PFC may be subject to gradual loss. Although tone-intonation relationship in SFPs and the acoustic correlates have previously been studied, most of the discussion lacked supporting evidence from phonetic experiments. The present study is distinguished in its systematic experimental design and detailed acoustic analyses, and it is hoped that the results will lay the foundations for future investigations into Cantonese phonetics.

Abstract:
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Linguistics and Philosophy, 2005.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 317-341).
This thesis proposes a recursive mapping of syntactic derivations to prosodic representations. I argue that the prosody of an expression, just like its meaning, is determined compositionally, as originally proposed in Chomsky et al. (1957), Chomsky and Halle (1968). Syntactic structure are cyclically spelled out and assigned a semantic and phonological interpretation. The cyclic approach is motivated based on data from the prosody of coordinate structures, integrating insights from syntax, combinatorics, and semantics. The algorithm distinguishes two ways of prosodically relating the output of cyclic domains: they can either be mapped to prosodic domains that are on a par and match in prosodic status: PROSODIC MATCHING; or the output of one cycle can be prosodically subordinated to another cycle: PROSODIC SUBORDINATION. Together, they derive a metrical structure that encodes information about phrasing, accent placement, and prominence. Scope relations, argument structure, and information structure affect prosodic phrasing indirectly by determining which of the two principles applies and when a syntactic cycle is spelled out. The derived metrical representation is a relational grid (Liberman, 1975).
(cont.) It encodes syntactic structure and also the derivational history of how it was assembled. The theory attempts to incorporate insights from recent work on stress and prominence (Cinque, 1993, Arregi, 2002) and prosodic recursion Ladd (1988), Dresher (1994), as well as insights from the research on prosodic phrasing and phrasal phonology (Gussenhoven, 1984, Selkirk, 1986, Truckenbrodt, 1995). Phonetic evidence from on-line production is presented to show that speakers implement the predicted metrical relations and scale boundaries later in the utterance relative to boundaries already produced, a phenomenon dubbed BOUNDARY STRENGTH SCALING.

Abstract:
It is universally recognised that humans process speech and language in chunks, each meaningful in itself. Any two renditions or assimilations of a given sentence will exhibit similarities and discrepancies in chunking, where speakers and readers use pauses and inflections to mark phrase breaks. This thesis reviews deterministic and stochastic approaches to phrase break prediction, plus datasets, evaluation metrics and feature sets. Early rule-based experimental work with a chunk parser gives rise to motivational insights, namely: the limitations of traditional features (syntax and punctuation) and deficiency of prosody in current phrasing models, and the problem of evaluating performance when the training set only represents one phrasing variant. Such insights inform resource creation in the form of ProPOSEL, a prosody and part-of-speech English lexicon, to create a domain-independent knowledge source, plus prosodic annotation and text analytics tool for corpus-based research, supported by a comprehensive software tutorial. Future applications of ProPOSEL include prosody-motivated speech-to-viseme generation for "talking heads" and expressive avatar creation. Here, ProPOSEL is used to build the ProPOSEC dataset by merging and annotating two versions of the Spoken English Corpus. Linguistic data arrays in this dataset are first mined for prosodic boundary correlates and later re-conceptualised as training instances for supervised machine learning. This thesis contends that native English speakers use certain sound patterns (e.g. diphthongs and triphthongs) as linguistic signs for phrase breaks, having observed these same patterns at rhythmic junctures in poetry. Pre-boundary lexical items bearing these complex vowels and gold-standard boundary annotations are found to be highly correlated via the chi-squared statistic in different genres, including seventeenth century English verse, and for multiple speakers. Complex vowels and other symbolic prosodic features are then implemented in a phrasing model to evaluate efficacy for phrase break prediction. The ultimate challenge is to better understand how sound and rhythm, as components of the linguistic sign, inform psycholinguistic chunking even during silent reading.

Abstract:
My analysis of question-word questions in conversational question-answer sequences results in the decomposition of the conversational question into three systems of constitutive cues, which signal and contextualize the particular activity type in conversational interaction: (1) syntactic structure, (2) semantic relation to prior turn, and (3) prosody. These components are used and combined by interlocutors to distinguish between different activity types which (4) sequentially implicate different types of answers by the recipient in the next turn. Prosody is only one cooccurring cue, but in some cases it is the only distinctive one. It is shown that prosody, and in particular intonation, cannot be determined or even systematically related to syntactic sentence structure type or other sentence-grammatical principles, as most former and current theories of intonation postulate. Instead, prosody is an independent, autonomous signalling system, which is used as a contextualization device for the constitution of interactively relevant activity types in conversation.

Abstract:
Data retrieval can be based on the keywords found in the orthographic records of sound speech. This paper is aimed at analyzing the communicative meanings, compositions of meanings expressed by prosody, and the structure of segmental material aligned with prosodic variations. The meanings and their compositions expressed by prosody can have segmental counterparts, e.g., lexemes, or some other linguistic units. These counterparts, in turn, are used as keywords for retrieval. The results of searching are used as a material for analyzing the syntactic structure of the communicative components of sentences, such as themes and rhemes of statements, and the components of some specific illocutions (dreams, recollections, explanations), and combinations of illocutions with discourse incompleteness. The data source for this analysis is the Russian National Corpus (Multimodal sub-corpus Murko), Prosodically Annotated Corpus of Spoken Russian (Spokencorpora.ru), and video-hosting Youtube. As the instrument, the computer system for sound speech analyzing Praat is used. The paper is illustrated throughout with pitch contours of sound records.

Abstract:
The analysis of Russian interrogative prosody is based on a model of a question as consisting of the two components: the illocutionary proper component and the illocutionary improper component. The illocutionary improper component includes the data for information retrieval. The illocutionary proper component can be formed both by segmental means of expression (by an interrogative word or a particle) or solely by prosody (as in Russian yes-no questions). The prosody of Russian questions having the interrogative words or the interrogative particle li is highly variable, whereas the prosody of Russian yes-no questions expressed by prosody is stable. The latter is the Russian rising accent, which has a rise on the tonic syllable of the accent-bearer followed by a fall on the post-tonics if any. The illocutionary improper component can be located sentence initially and carry a specific falling accent (namely, a late fall). A specific type of a question with the interrogative proper component omitted is recognized. Such questions carry a late fall, or a falling-rising accent on the accent-bearer. The analysis is exemplified by the frequency tracings of the sound sentencestaken from the Russian National Corpus and other open sources. As the instrument for verifying the acoustic data, we used the computer system Praat. The paper is illustrated throughout with pitch contours of sound records.
