However, it remains unclear how corrective prosody is realized in different communicative settings. We conducted two production experiments to investigate whether interlocutors’ prosodic realization of corrective focus depends on each other’s knowledge state. Participants carried out a statement-response task in pairs (e.g. Speaker A: “Tina had shrimp at a restaurant.” Speaker B: “No, she had beef at a restaurant.”). We manipulated whether Speaker A’s statement was implausible in the context (e.g. Tina in fact hates seafood). Furthermore, the two experiments differed in whether Speaker A knew the probability of his or her statement. In Exp.1, both speakers had access to the crucial context concerning the probability of Speaker A’s statement (e.g. Tina’s preferences about food). In Exp.2, only Speaker B had access to this background information. Mixed-effects models were fit on the f0 ranges of target words in Speaker B’s responses (e.g. “beef”). We found that Speaker B’s prosody was influenced by both (i) the contextual probability of Speaker A’s statements and (ii) Speaker A’s knowledge (or lack thereof) about the contextual probability. We present an analysis where the prosodic prominence associated with corrective information reflects the gap between expectation and reality – in this case, what Speaker B had expected Speaker A to know and what Speaker A appeared to know.","PeriodicalId":92583,"journal":{"name":"Speech prosody (Urbana, Ill.)","volume":"245 1","pages":"405-409"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80203439","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}

Previous studies claim that suprasegmental processing is less sensitive to L1 experience because it is based mostly on general auditory mechanisms. Thus, falls and rises can be universally distinguished regardless of language background while different types of rises are processed similarly between language groups. However, often these studies have not included languages that actually use different types of rises linguistically. In this study we investigated the effects of L1 experience on the perception of rises by Australian-English listeners, for whom different rises signal the difference between interrogatives and declaratives in their L1, and Mandarin learners of English, who should be sensitive to tonal differences but not to the intonational differences tested here. Results demonstrate that the perception of suprasegmentals is indeed shaped by the L1 with a significantly better discrimination of rises by Australian-English listeners. Additionally, it appears that suprasegmental processing at the utterance level occurs independently from the lexical level since Mandarin listeners were not able to draw on tonal sensitivities for discrimination at the utterance (intonational) level.","PeriodicalId":92583,"journal":{"name":"Speech prosody (Urbana, Ill.)","volume":"103 1","pages":"242-246"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80309514","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}

Our ultimate aim is to create a software for self-teaching language learning that includes a tool where learners will be able to hear their own voice producing the social affect correctly. Towards this goal, we study here how we can construct synthetic stimuli using neutral voices and prosodic parameters , and if such stimuli can be well enough recognized by native listeners. At first, we explain how our corpus is built around contextual scenarios and the recording protocol. Then, we explain how the synthetic stimuli are constructed. These stimuli must comply with several constraints: keeping the original speaker identity, preserving the linguistic content, and of course having the best possible quality. Results from a perception experiment with native speakers of Japanese show that the social affects for natural stimuli are quite well recognized although the results show more variation on the synthetic stimuli, depending on the considered social affect. Some social affects may indeed be expressed quite subtly so that they are difficult to synthesize. An investigation based on statistical analysis is proposed showing where the main difficulties lie.","PeriodicalId":92583,"journal":{"name":"Speech prosody (Urbana, Ill.)","volume":"2 1","pages":"989-993"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77771480","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}

To this purpose, the study analyses 614 occurrences of the lax high front vowel / I / in read speech produced by 10 male speakers of Standard Southern British English. 14 different acoustic features are investigated. Results indicate that (1) there are two acoustic correlates of accent (duration and f 0 slope), four acoustic correlates of stress (spectral balance/tilt, intensity/loudness, amplitude of voicing (H1), amplitude of the ﬁrst harmonic (A1), H1*-A2 and H1*-A3*), one potential acoustic correlate of prominence in general (F1), and four acoustic features that appear to be unrelated to the expression of accent, stress or prominence (F2, HNR, glottal leakage (B1) and the open quotient (H1*-H2*)). Regarding question (2), there is also limited evidence that British English function words might be less prominent than unstressed syllables in content words.","PeriodicalId":92583,"journal":{"name":"Speech prosody (Urbana, Ill.)","volume":"30 1","pages":"435-439"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77930960","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}
