句法和韵律短语结构之间的关系是自发言语的生产和感知的研究。测试了三个假设:(1)句法影响韵律产生;(2)听者对韵律边界的感知对声学持续时间敏感;(3)句法直接影响边界感知,(部分)独立于边界的声学证据。数据来自会话语音的七叶树语料库,以及97名未经训练的听众对这些数据的实时韵律转录。跨转录协议代码边界强度在字连接处,和边界分数被证明是相关的句法上下文和元音持续时间的一个字。元音时长与句法语境也存在相关性,但元音时长不能完全解释句法语境对边界感知的影响。回归分析表明,句法分句边界和元音时长是第一和第二最强的预测边界知觉在自发的讲话。
The relationship between syntactic and prosodic phrase structures is investigated in the production and perception of spontaneous speech. Three hypotheses are tested: (1) syntax influences prosody production; (2) listeners' perception of prosodic boundaries is sensitive to acoustic duration; and (3) syntax directly influences boundary perception, (partly) independent of the acoustic evidence for boundaries. Data are from the Buckeye corpus of conversational speech, and the real-time prosodic transcription of those data by 97 untrained listeners. Inter-transcriber agreement codes boundary strength at word junctures, and Boundary scores are shown to be correlated with both the syntactic context and vowel duration of a word. Vowel duration is also correlated with syntactic context, but the effect of syntactic context on boundary perception is not fully explained by vowel duration. Regression analyses show that syntactic clause boundaries and vowel duration are the first and second strongest predictors of boundary perception in spontaneous speech.
