Integrating prosodic structure into computational grammars

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The aim of this project is to lay the foundation for the integration of prosodic structure into linguistically deep computational grammars in order to facilitate future applications of automatic speech understanding, i.e., real comprehension. By means of two sets of use cases which focus on different aspects of spoken language, this project will thus pursue a) the computational implementation of prosodic structure including an interface to phonetics (i.e., the speech signal), and b) the integration of prosodic structure into LFG-based computational grammars, including the interfaces to syntax, semantics, and information structure.The overall goal is to provide a substantial grammar fragment that allows for the automatic analysis of the two use case data sets with respect to all core components of grammar and paves the way for a general integration of spoken language.
