Analysis of two English spontaneous speech examples with the dependency incremental
prosodic structure model
Two examples of English spontaneous speech are analyzed
prosodically, using the dependency incremental prosodic structure model. Instead of
annotating prosodic events with the ToBI system, stressed accent phrases and final
syllables are described in terms of rising or falling melodic contours, characterized by
their melodic change above or below the glissando threshold. These contours
indicate dependency relations between accent phrases, which in turn define the sentence
prosodic structure.
