In a forced-choice perception task, we tested whether the French Initial Rise (Initial Rise) is of relevance in identifying the left edge of a non-corrective contrastive focus. Participants listened to two-clause sentences with parallel structures in the two clauses in which the segmental information of the direct object head noun in the second clause was missing (see Figure 1). Crucially, there was always a contrast on the final color adjective modifying the noun. On the intonational residual, we manipulated the presence (LHiLH*) or absence (LLH*) of an Initial Rise. Participants were asked to choose between the Given or a New referent. The latter would reflect a contrastive interpretation of the entire post-verbal argument, while the former would reflect a contrastive interpretation restricted to the final adjectival modifier of the direct object noun phrase. Results showed no bias toward either of the two interpretations as a function of the presence or absence of the Initial Rise as marking the left edge of a contrastive focus. As anticipated, however, the sentences’ parallelism induced an overall bias toward a contrastive interpretation. Several factors that may explain the present null result are discussed under the hypothesis that the Initial Rise is a weak cue to focus.","PeriodicalId":145363,"journal":{"name":"1st International Conference on Tone and Intonation (TAI)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133996296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results of previous research, have yielded contradictory results as to which are the strongest, most frequently occurring, or most consistent prosodic cues, in part due to different languages and methods. Dissimilarly from most languages analyzed earlier, Hungarian is a left-headed head-/edge prominence language. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the difference in the relationship of prosodic boundary markers and the audible inhalation between the two kinds of clauses in Hungarian read speech and according to the length of the first clauses of the sentences. Based on 20 young adult male and female Hungarian speakers' text and sentence reading, altogether 320 (coordinated, CO and subordinated, SUB) clause end positions were examined. Silent pauses, the appearance of high/low tones, creaky voice, and the realization of the audible inhalation (based on the agreement of 2 annotators) were labeled. The results revealed differences between boundary marking in CO and SUB clauses: SUB clauses were more often realized with no marking, while CO boundaries were labeled with low tone and creaky voice. Besides, notable differences were also observed in the boundary marking cues after long and short clauses.","PeriodicalId":145363,"journal":{"name":"1st International Conference on Tone and Intonation (TAI)","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124503638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Less discussed is the role of edge tones, which are part of the intonational phonology fulfilling a function similar to that of sentence-final particles. It has been reported that a lengthened falling contour attached to the final syllable conveys contrastive focus or serves as a signal to draw attention. In the current study, a perception experiment was conducted with stimuli manipulated to have prominence on either subject or object, interacting with an edge tone on the last syllable. Both a linguistic task of rating appropriateness and a metalinguistic task of annotating emphasised syllables were adopted. The combined results of the two tasks revealed that edge tones can trigger the perception of prominence on the final syllable, but when the context requires, edge tones can be reinterpreted at the discourse level as indicating a preceding focus. The prevalence of edge tones along with the rich inventory of sentence-final particles in Cantonese points to the salience of the right edge of the IP in focus marking.","PeriodicalId":145363,"journal":{"name":"1st International Conference on Tone and Intonation (TAI)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114958352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study focuses on Swedish word accents and how a rising or falling tone affect vowel segment duration. The paper explains how segment boundaries are a result of rapid movements of the articulators. In the acceleration profile, this is identified as peak acceleration, which can be measured. The timing of two acceleration peaks (the distance between them is referred to as a posture interval ) determines the duration of the acoustic segment. The purpose of the study is to see whether the posture intervals of active articulators correlate with the acoustic vowel segment, even if duration is affected by tonal context. To this end, acoustic and articulatory data on long and short open vowels, produced by 18 Swedish speakers, have been collected. The data includes vowel acoustic segment duration, and peak acceleration of lip and tongue tip movements. The results suggest that: a) acoustic vowel segments can be determined by timing of consonantal articulation; b) peak acceleration successfully capture the acoustic changes constituting the segment boundary, at least for nasal stops; c) laryngeal production affects all orofacial movements, as the tone affects the timing of the consonantal articulation.","PeriodicalId":145363,"journal":{"name":"1st International Conference on Tone and Intonation (TAI)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128607963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
