(IEEE, 2011)The detection of short utterances in conversational or interactive speech is essential to the proper processing of meaning in spoken interaction. Short, simple utterances are extremely common, and because of their highly ... -
Prosody of voice: declination, sentence mode and interaction with prominence
(2015)This paper looks at voice source correlates of decli- nation. This follows a line of research that proposes that prosody is primarily signalled by the temporal modulation of the voice source, and not just F0. In- verse ...
