Prosody is a critical component of spoken communication. Loosely defined, prosody is ?how words are spoken?, as opposed to ?what words are said?. Prosody is typically defined to include pitch, intensity, and timing -- and systematic variation in these parameters can reinforce or augment a speaker?s intended meaning. Prosody provides important information at every linguistic level, disambiguating syntax, augmenting semantics and pragmatic information, e.g. by conveying information about phrasal grouping and phrase-level prominence. Emotions and other speaker-state information are also communicated through a speaker?s prosody. Although this aspect of speech is important, it remains under-investigated. A major limiting factor is the lack of large sample of prosodically labeled speech. Prosody researchers at CUNY, Columbia and MIT are developing Reciprosody, a web source of prosodically annotated data and tools for analysis. Reciprosody makes critical resources for the study and teaching of prosody available to a growing and diverse population of researchers, students, and technologists. This website hosts data in any language, annotated under any prosody standard. The only restriction for hosting data in the repository is that it must be made freely available for academic and educational activities. Reciprosody is not merely a passive repository, but an active resource for researchers and educators to communicate with each other on a regular basis. This enables the resource to be a center not only for annotated data, but information and support related to ongoing prosody research.

韵律是口语交际的重要组成部分。韵律的定义很松散？言语是如何说出来的？而不是说了什么话？韵律通常被定义为包括音高，强度和时间-和这些参数的系统变化可以加强或增强扬声器？的意思。韵律在每一个语言层次上提供重要的信息，消除句法歧义，增强语义和语用信息，例如通过传达有关短语分组和短语级突出的信息。情绪和其他说话者状态信息也通过说话者传达？的韵律。虽然这方面的讲话是重要的，它仍然是研究不足。一个主要的限制因素是缺乏大样本的韵律标记的语音。纽约市立大学、哥伦比亚和麻省理工学院的韵律学研究人员正在开发Reciprosody，这是一个韵律注释数据和分析工具的网络资源。Reciprosody为韵律学的研究和教学提供了重要的资源，供日益增长的多样化的研究人员，学生和技术人员使用。该网站托管任何语言的数据，并根据任何韵律标准进行注释。在存储库中托管数据的唯一限制是，它必须免费提供给学术和教育活动。Reciprosody不仅仅是一个被动的知识库，而是研究人员和教育工作者定期相互交流的积极资源。这使得资源不仅是注释数据的中心，而且是与正在进行的韵律研究相关的信息和支持的中心。
