2019 Chapter 9. The annotation of syllabic prominences and disfluencies Rhapsodie: A prosodic and syntactic treebank for spoken French, Lacheret-Dujour, Anne, Sylvain Kahane and Paola Pietrandrea (eds.), pp. 157–173 | Chapter
This chapter presents the methodology developed to capture syllabic prominences and prosodic disfluencies in the speech flow. Then it describes the protocol used for the 3-point scale labeling of prominences and disfluencies, the choice of annotators, from semi-naive to experts, the inter-annotator… read more
2019 Chapter 18. Syntax and prosody mapping: What and how? The case of intonational periods and illocutionary units Rhapsodie: A prosodic and syntactic treebank for spoken French, Lacheret-Dujour, Anne, Sylvain Kahane and Paola Pietrandrea (eds.), pp. 339–363 | Chapter
This chapter is devoted to the intonosyntactic interface, by exploring relationships between major prosodic and macrosyntactic units. It presents different kinds of mapping between intonational periods and illocutionary units, and discusses three basic constructions: alignment, when prosodic and… read more
2019 Chapter 8. Prosodic annotation of the Rhapsodie corpus: Expectations and issues Rhapsodie: A prosodic and syntactic treebank for spoken French, Lacheret-Dujour, Anne, Sylvain Kahane and Paola Pietrandrea (eds.), pp. 147–155 | Chapter
This chapter provides an overview of the theoretical background that piloted prosodic processing in Rhapsodie. We explain what the components of an autonomous data-driven usage-based perceptual model are, as distinct from the standard approach in which data are used to validate phonological… read more
2019 Chapter 10. Segmentation into intonational periods Rhapsodie: A prosodic and syntactic treebank for spoken French, Lacheret-Dujour, Anne, Sylvain Kahane and Paola Pietrandrea (eds.), pp. 175–211 | Chapter
This chapter focuses on the processing of the major prosodic unit, called intonational period, in Rhapsodie. We explain why the grammatical concept of sentence cannot be taken as a reference for the segmentation of unelicited speech into major prosodic units. Rather we show that in order to segment… read more
2019 Chapter 17. The distribution of prosodic features in the Rhapsodie corpus: From general observations to discourse characterization Rhapsodie: A prosodic and syntactic treebank for spoken French, Lacheret-Dujour, Anne, Sylvain Kahane and Paola Pietrandrea (eds.), pp. 315–338 | Chapter
This chapter analyzes the interface between prosodic features and situational variables in the Rhapsodie treebank. First, we provide general quantitative information. Second, we present a preliminary set of statistical analyses performed on six specific prosodic variables, that provides two types… read more
2019 Chapter 11. Derivation of the prosodic structure Rhapsodie: A prosodic and syntactic treebank for spoken French, Lacheret-Dujour, Anne, Sylvain Kahane and Paola Pietrandrea (eds.), pp. 213–231 | Chapter
This chapter presents the rules implemented for the automatic generation of the internal prosodic structure of an intonational period based on prominence annotations, from the metrical foot to the intonation package. A special feature of the model is that it accounts for performance features such… read more
2019 Chapter 1. Collecting data for the Rhapsodie treebank: Corpus design and ethical issues Rhapsodie: A prosodic and syntactic treebank for spoken French, Lacheret-Dujour, Anne, Sylvain Kahane and Paola Pietrandrea (eds.), pp. 7–20 | Chapter
This chapter is devoted to the development of the Rhapsodie repository. We describe the selection of data to be annotated, the principles used to document the data and discuss the theoretical assumptions underlying the Rhapsodie project. The aim was to provide a corpus to study the interface… read more
2019 Chapter 19. Conclusion Rhapsodie: A prosodic and syntactic treebank for spoken French, Lacheret-Dujour, Anne, Sylvain Kahane and Paola Pietrandrea (eds.), pp. 365–368 | Chapter
2019 Introduction Rhapsodie: A prosodic and syntactic treebank for spoken French, Lacheret-Dujour, Anne, Sylvain Kahane and Paola Pietrandrea (eds.), pp. 1–6 | Chapter
2019 Chapter 15. Exploration of the Rhapsodie corpus: Data structure, formats and query tools Rhapsodie: A prosodic and syntactic treebank for spoken French, Lacheret-Dujour, Anne, Sylvain Kahane and Paola Pietrandrea (eds.), pp. 271–283 | Chapter
This chapter describes the data structure of the Rhapsodie Treebank and discusses methodological issues stemming from the complexity of this structure, articulated around three independent, non-aligned, hierarchies: Microsyntactic, macrosyntactic and prosodic, and the challenging questions to be… read more
2019 Chapter 13. Tonal annotation: Stylization of complex melodic contours over arbitrary linguistic units Rhapsodie: A prosodic and syntactic treebank for spoken French, Lacheret-Dujour, Anne, Sylvain Kahane and Paola Pietrandrea (eds.), pp. 251–260 | Chapter
This chapter presents SLAM, an algorithm for the automatic stylization and labelling of melodic contours, developed to process intonation in Rhapsodie. This algorithm has three basic specificities. First, the alphabet of melodic contours is directly derived from the speech signal. Second, complex… read more
2015 Prosodic clustering in speech: From emotional to semantic processes Emotion in Language: Theory – research – application, Lüdtke, Ulrike M. (ed.), pp. 175–190 | Article
Although vocal expressivity is a major component of human communication,
it has not been a major topic in linguistics in the 20th century. The situation
is radically different now with the worldwide development of many scientific
programs focusing on the vocal expression of emotions. In most of the… read more
2014 The notion of sentence and other discourse units in corpus annotation Spoken Corpora and Linguistic Studies, Raso, Tommaso and Heliana Mello (eds.), pp. 331–364 | Article
The notion of sentence – as it is defined in syntactic, semantic, graphic and prosodic terms – is not a suitable maximal unit for the prosodic and syntactic annotation of spoken corpora. Still, this notion is taken as a reference in many syntactic and prosodic annotation systems. We present here… read more
