Classification of Stylistic Variations regular semi-regular irregular NeGSST 2008
Relationship between prosodic styles & HPG contribution distribution • Higher level contribution by prosody style as shown from R, SMR, IR to WIR • Various prosodic styles can be explainedby HPG framework systematically. • The more regular the prosodic style, the larger the prosodic domain, and more contribution from higher level information.

Experiment 1 Q: Examine if only syllable domain is helpful to discriminate discourse boundary identities Goal: Whether singular/relative acoustic factor in syllable layer is sufficient to differentiate B3, B4 & B5 Acoustic features: Singular acoustic factor (1.) boundary pause (BP), (2.) pre-boundary syllable duration (PrDu) and (3.) pre-boundary syllable intensity (PrIn) Relative acoustic factor (4.) between-boundary syllable duration contrast (DuCon) and (5.) between-boundary syllable intensity contrast (InCon) NeGSST 2008
Results of Experiment 1 (1/2) Cross boundary discrimination by single acoustic features. Each panel-acoustic feature. The horizontal axis -the prosodic boundary indexes. The vertical axis -the coefficient of normalized values of boundary pause (BP), per-boundary duration (PrDu) and per-boundary intensity (PrIn), respectively. NeGSST 2008
Results of Experiment 1 (2/2) Cross boundary discrimination by single contrastive factors. Each panel-contrastive feature. The horizontal axis – prosodic boundary indexes. The vertical axis-the coefficient of normalized values between boundary duration contrasts (DuCon) and between boundary intensity contrasts (InCon). NeGSST 2008
Experiment 2 Q: Examine the scale of boundary context to discriminate discourse boundary identities Goal : How to account for boundary context in the acoustic signals by discourse specifications • Acoustic features Average duration of prosodic units by different scale -Syllable -Prosodic word -Prosodic phrase NeGSST 2008

Conclusions of Fluent Narrative Speech • Prosody and prosody context More information beyond tones and intonation • adjacency and cross-over associations • Tone and intonation variation can be explainedby HPG framework systematically • Tone variation-Lower level by HPG • Various prosodic styles-Higher level by HPG • Prosody context boundaries across fluent speech • discourse specified • Possible application to ASR • topic & discourse organization detection NeGSST 2008
