Current empirical work on prosodic prominence is based on theoretical developments in the
mid-twentieth century, in which a generalized notion of stress (in word pairs like English …

This study tests the influence of acoustic cues and non-acoustic contextual factors on
listeners' perception of prominence in three languages whose prominence systems differ in …

Focus is known to be expressed by a wide range of phonetic cues but only a few studies
have explicitly compared different phonetic variables within the same experiment. Therefore …

Since the earliest days of phonetics, researchers have noticed that certain speech units
stand out from their environment. This is for example the case of a stressed syllable within a …

This study investigates the relationship between signal-based factors and discourse context
in the production and perception of prominence, extending prior work on prominence in …

In intonation languages, pitch accents are associated with stressed syllables, therefore
accentuation is a sufficient cue to the position of metrical stress in perception. This paper …

Prosody simultaneously encodes different kinds of information about an utterance, including
the type of speech act (which, in English, often affects the choice of intonational tune), the …

Accentual prominence has well-documented effects on various phonetic properties,
including timing, vowel quality, amplitude, and pitch. These cues can exist in trading …

Two experiments test how phrasal prominence influences listeners' perception of vowel
contrasts and how prominence information and vowel formant cues are integrated in …

This research studies the error, bias, and noise of auditors' going concern opinion (GCO) in
predicting firm default and we examine the role of machine learning (ML) in impacting the …
