“…Potential samples were extracted from the LOCAS-F corpus [13], a multi-genre corpus of spoken French. The selected samples were monological units, 20-60 seconds long and between two pauses of at least 250 ms.…”

“…Many spoken language corpora include some sort of prosodic segmentation into "intonation units" or annotation of "prosodic boundaries". Such annotations include the "tone units" in the London-Lund Corpus of Spoken English [8]; "intonation units" in the Santa Barbara Corpus of American English [9]; "accentuation units" and "intonation units" in the Aix-Marsec Corpus of Spoken British English [10]; "accentuation units" and "intonation units" based on the Autosegmental-Metrical framework in the Rhapsodie Corpus [11] and in the C-PROM-PFC Corpus [12]; and two levels of prosodic boundaries marked in the LOCAS-F Corpus [13]. All of these annotations are presumably off-line expert annotations.…”

We present the results of a series of experiments in which naïve listeners and expert annotators were tasked to indicate the presence of a prosodic boundary in real-time, by tapping on a computer keyboard. These taps are attributed to potential boundary syllables using an algorithm. Both groups listened to 48 samples from a corpus of French speech in multiple speaking styles, which also contains an annotation of prosodic boundaries produced off-line by experts. Several information sources (acoustic features, lexical and shallow syntactic features) are correlated with the responses of naïve listeners and expert annotators. We compare the results for the two groups and describe an automated system for annotating prosodic boundaries.

“…For this study, we took a sample of conversational French from the LOCAS-F corpus (Degand et al, 2014). Specifically, we used three formal and three informal conversations, amounting to 7,545 words in the corpus (about 25 minutes of recordings).…”

Discourse markers and their functions have been modeled through a large number of very diverse frameworks. Most of these models target written language and the discourse relations that hold between sentences. In this paper, we present, assess and apply a new annotation taxonomy that targets discourse markers (instead of discourse relations) in spoken language and addresses their polyfunctionality in an alternative way. In particular, its main innovative feature is to distinguish between two independent layers of semantic-pragmatic information (i.e., domains and functions) which, once combined, provide a fine-grained disambiguation of discourse markers. We compare the affordances of this model to existing proposals, and illustrate them with a corpus study. A sample of conversational French containing 423 discourse marker tokens was fully analyzed by two independent annotators. We report on inter-annotator agreement scores, as well as quantitative analyses of the distribution of domains and functions in the sample. Both powerful and economical, this proposal advocates a flexible and modular approach to discourse analysis, and paves the way for further corpus-based studies on the challenging category of discourse markers.

“…We consider four conditions for repeated segments: contiguous, with a filled pause, with a silent pause and no repetition. The 40 natural stimuli were extracted from C-HUMOUR (Grosman, 2016), LOCAS-F (Degand, Martin & Simon, 2014), C-Phonogenre (Goldman, Prsir & Auchlin, 2014), Rhapsodie (Kahane & Peitrandrea, 2019) and DRIVE (Christodoulides, 2016).…”

This experiment measures the impact of the communicative situation on perceived fluency in French speech. We consider three dimensions of fluency: grammatical, discursive and socio-interpersonal. We first hypothesise that grammatical fluency is less influenced by contextual constraints than the other two dimensions. Furthermore, taking into account the Interpersonal Reactivity Index of each participant, we hypothesise that hearers with higher interpersonal capacities will be more tolerant in their fluency evaluation, because of their ability to project into the speaker's mind. The strength of the design rests on the proposal to test natural stimuli and integrate social and individual variables in a perception experiment.
