Pitch targets and their realization: Evidence from Mandarin Chinese - Xu (2001) (5 citations) (Correct)
....as in the upper panel, the post focus F 0 does not differ whether the focus is on the first or second word. Insert Figure 10 about here The pitch range of a local pitch target may also be modified by another factor which may be called topic initiation. As found by several studies (Lehiste 1975; Nakajima Allen 1993; Umeda 1982) the F 0 of the first word or phrase in the first sentence of a paragraph is often much higher than the F 0 in the later portion of the paragraph. Umeda (1982) suggests that an exceedingly high F 0 peak at the onset of the first sentence of a paragraph, which is different from the ....
....Umeda (1982) suggests that an exceedingly high F 0 peak at the onset of the first sentence of a paragraph, which is different from the peaks that occur in stressed syllables in later words, is probably used as a beginning signal for new topics, or so produced to draw listeners attention. Nakajima Allen (1993) presented rather convincing data on high F 0 values related to topic initiation (referred to as topic shift in their study) Although no study we are aware of has looked into it, it is possible that when a declarative sentence is read aloud in isolation, speakers usually say it as if to introduce ....

....systems simply ignore pause. Pitch changes offer additional cues about the speaker s intentions. Pierrehumbert and Hirschberg [7] proposed that phrasal tunes signal relationships between the propositional content and the mutual beliefs of the participants. More specifically, Nakajima and Allen [5] examined the relationship between fundamental frequency (F0) and discourse structure in spontaneous task oriented dialogue and found that F0 values tend to signal topic shift and topic continuation across pause boundaries. Pitch accents mark salient material [7] which may be useful not only in ....

....that Gee and Grosjean s model falls short of providing a comprehensive theory, since their rules were too limited and the syntax too under specified to achieve good coverage. However, it did provide them with the theoretical framework from which to proceed. The next work of relevance is that of Nakajima and Allen (1992; 1993), which was done as part of the Trains project. As we mentioned above, they were interested in using prosody to determine discourse structure. Since they used spoken dialogues, they were forced to deal with the issue of defining utterance units (UU) They proposed the following principles. ....

....theories of turn taking, propose that there is some unit by which the conversational state gets updated. But what is the realization of this unit This is still an unanswered research question. Previous spoken dialogue research efforts in the Trains project have attempted to answer this question. Nakajima and Allen (1993) used four principles: utterance units correspond to sentences of text, they can correspond to basic speech acts, they are at most a single turn, and they can be marked with a pause of at least 750 msec. Gross, Allen, and Traum (1993) proposed that the end of an utterance unit is signaled by one ....

Nakajima and Allen (1993) collected dialogues in the Trains domain as part of a study that examined prosodic clues to discourse structure. For the dialogues, a human played the role of the system, and both system and user were out of sight of each other communicating through microphones and headphones. The only common ....
