Abstract

In this study, we look at the distribution of silent pauses within existing multi-language corpora to see whether their location and duration correlate with clause boundaries. Our study is based on data of seven languages from Multi-CAST. We supplemented the original clause boundary annotations with information about silent pauses in order to investigate the alignment of clause boundaries and pausing. We find a gradient association between clause boundary strength and the probability of a pause and a two-way distinction for pause duration within clauses and at clause boundaries.

句法停顿？重新审视关联

在本研究中，我们研究了无声停顿在现有多语言语料库中的分布情况，以了解无声停顿的位置和持续时间是否与分句边界相关。我们的研究基于 Multi-CAST 中的七种语言数据。我们用无声停顿的信息补充了原始的分句边界注释，以研究分句边界和停顿的一致性。我们发现，分句边界强度与停顿概率之间存在梯度关联，分句内和分句边界的停顿持续时间也存在双向区别。
