Here I present evidence for the prosodic bootstrapping of word order. Specifically, two behavioral experiments and one brain imaging study word are reviewed supporting the hypothesis that word frequency and phrasal prosody serve as powerful cues to help infants bootstrap the basic lexical categories of functors and content words and guide infants about the relative order of these two categories in their native language. The acoustic realization of prosodic prominence in phonological phrases correlates with basic word order, as functor-initial languages typically rely on phrase-final lengthening, while functor-final language on phrase-initial pitch and/or intensity rise (Nespor et al. 2008). The first study shows that 8-month-old infants can use this acoustic cue to determine the word order of an artificial language. A second study shows that infants expect this prosodic information to be aligned with word frequency, i.e. frequent words to be prosodically non-prominent, as are natural language functors. A near-infrared spectroscopy imaging study suggests that sensitivity to the acoustic realization of prosodic prominence and the resulting rhythmic (iambic/trochaic) grouping derives from babies’ prenatal experience with speech.","PeriodicalId":442842,"journal":{"name":"Speech Prosody 2022","volume":"126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133953245","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 design comprised a perceptual experiment on pairs of stimuli from 10 Brazilian speakers recorded directly by a digital recorder and over WhatsApp voice messages. A group of four voice-specialized judges has assessed the stimuli set by means of the Vocal Profile Analysis (VPA), which comprises both voice quality and voice dynamics settings. Data analysis has included reliability measures, and the spatial arrangement of the stimuli pairs through a multidimensional scaling technique (MDS). The settings mainly correlated to MDS dimensions were “Lowered Larynx”, “Tense Larynx” and “Creaky” as well as “Pitch Mean” and “Pitch Extensive Range”. The voice quality settings were less affected by the recording condition, since the perceptual distances between stimuli pairs in this group were lower than those related to voice dynamics. However, the attested perceptual differences are not limited to stimuli acoustic quality only since none of the MDS perceptual dimensions could separate the recording conditions. Implications for Forensic Phonetics are considered.","PeriodicalId":442842,"journal":{"name":"Speech Prosody 2022","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122308916","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}

These judgements are often based on vocal stereotypes which may be universally or culturally determined. This study examines how physical, psychological, social, and vocal features are perceived by listeners and which acoustic features may influence their judgements. An experiment integrating a perceptual test and acoustic measurements was performed. The corpus consisted of speech utterances produced by five animated film characters, dubbed in Brazilian Portuguese. The stimuli were judged by 77 Brazilian Portuguese native speakers, 46 women and 31 men, aged 20 to 50. The acoustic analysis was performed automatically. Acoustic measures included mean f 0 , f 0 baseline, spectral emphasis and H1-H2. For interrater agreement analysis, Cronbach's Alpha was chosen. The results indicated close agreements among judges for all characters. Overall scores obtained for all characters were above .90. In interpreting the results, the influence sound symbolism codes may have on listeners’ judgments and the factors influencing vocal stereotypes have been considered. The discussion of the acoustic and perceptual analysis results takes into consideration if voice actors adapt their voices to fit the characters or otherwise are cast because of their natural voice characteristics.","PeriodicalId":442842,"journal":{"name":"Speech Prosody 2022","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130139914","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}

In the current study, we asked speakers of Bari Italian, with a rise-fall(-rise) contour for questions, to imitate the question contour of Lecce Italian, which has a (level-)rise contour. Since the Bari Italian repertoire also has a rise (used to convey non-finality) that has a different phonetic implementation, we tested whether this native rise has an influence on the imitation of the Lecce Italian question rise. Results show that Bari Italian speakers can produce a question rise when asked to imitate the Lecce contour, although they are not able to imitate the whole F0 shape, possibly because of the interference of their native non-final rise. Imitators are more successful in reproducing the contour on the final syllable than on the preceding (level) part, possibly because of the perceptual salience of the rise, combined with its final position triggering a recency effect.","PeriodicalId":442842,"journal":{"name":"Speech Prosody 2022","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124109775","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}

Georgian presents challenges for both definitions. The irrelevance of the SSP for Georgian phonotactics is well documented, while it is unclear whether Georgian displays the AP-predicted timing pattern of syllable onsets, i.e., the c-center effect. We investigate the relationship between sonority shape and global timing in complex onsets in Georgian by the means of a series of Electromagnetic Articulography (EMA) experiments. We use two measures of global timing, i.e., rightward shift of prenuclear consonant gesture and c-center stability, both relative to an anchor point in the vowel. Contrary to predictions, neither measure supports a c-center effect for Georgian syllables Coordination is not affected by sonority shape, although sonority is reflected in patterns of overlap. We discuss these results in relationship to the phonological and morphological profile of Georgian and suggest that the absence of the c-center effect is possible given Georgian’s permissive phonotactics, and aids in the formation of morphologically complex words. Typological extensions of this account are made.","PeriodicalId":442842,"journal":{"name":"Speech Prosody 2022","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115286498","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}
