We address the problem of how to differentiate between phonetically-caused aspects of
prosody those that arise from purely physical phonetic factors and are not reflected in the …

Following van Heuven and Sluijter (1996), this paper suggests that the tradition of equating
prosody with variations in fundamental frequency (F0), duration and intensity may have …

Two experiments are directed towards the 'function'and 'communication'themes of this
volume. They examine the auditory consequences and the communicational effect of …

This paper presents a discussion of the role of voice quality in prosody. Illustrations from
past production and perception data by the authors indicate that source parameters other …

Prosody can be defined most easily as the ensemble of phonetic properties that do not enter
into the definition of individual speech sounds. When phonemes are turned into actual …

Abstract “Phonetics, phonology, and prosody” do not, as might be thought, constitute a set of
three separate subsystems of language: linguistic sound systems have both phonetic and …

This investigation examined whether speakers produce reliable prosodic correlates to
meaning across semantic domains and whether listeners use these cues to derive word …

The word 'prosody'comes from ancient Greek, where it was used for a “song sung with

Speech signals originate as a sequence of linguistic units selected by speakers, but these
units are necessarily realised in the suprasegmental dimensions of time, frequency and …
