Expectations for discourse genre identification: a prosodic study

Abstract: Speech can be divided into discourse genres based on the contextual environment it occurs in (e.g. political speech, sport commentary speech, etc.). The present study investigated whether listeners can distinguish between speech from different discourse genres on the basis of acoustic prosodic cues only 1 . In a perception experiment with delexicalized speech 70 listeners with varying experience in French (native speakers, nonnative speakers, and non-speakers) were asked to identify four different types of dis… Show more

“…The prosodic grammar consists of a hierarchical prosodic representation that was experimented as an alternative to ToBI [9] for French prosody labelling [10]. The prosodic grammar is composed of major prosodic boundaries (FM, a boundary which is right bounded by a pause), minor prosodic boundaries (Fm, an intermediate boundary), and prosodic prominences (P).…”

“…During the synthesis, the symbolic/acoustic parameters are generated in cascade, from the symbolic representation to the acoustic variations. Additionally, a rich linguistic description of the text characteristics is automatically extracted using a linguistic processing chain [9] and used to refine the context-dependent HMM modelling (see [10] and [11] for a detailed description of the enriched linguistic contexts). The prosodic grammar consists of a hierarchical prosodic representation that was experimented as an alternative to TOBI [12] for French prosody labelling [13].…”

“…Sport live media report (SLMR) has received recent attention in prosodic studies from different perspectives. [1] evaluate this verbal activity as for its "phono-genre" consistency, as contrasted to three other speech genres (viz. radio news, political discourse, and religious discourse), through an identification test.…”
