Pause-internal phonetic particles in speech communication

该项目旨在研究语音停顿中包含的语音粒子，比如呼吸噪音或舌头咔哒声。在语音分析中，与“填充停顿”中的填充词相比，这些助词在很大程度上被忽略了。项目的重点研究问题是：停顿和选择停顿内部语音粒子（PIPPs）对口语语音编码和解码的贡献是什么？基于对现有语音语料库的分析，跨语言和说话风格，并辅以新的实验数据，我们计划提供一个pipp清单，以及它们的语音特征和可能的交际功能的描述。在语音产生领域，该项目将重点关注pipp的声学表现，特别关注我们自己数据中呼吸声学和呼吸运动学之间的关系。在语音感知领域，听力实验将通过操纵停顿和pipp来解决处理和保留的便利性，以探索省力原则（次言语）和清晰原则（超言语）之间的相互作用。此外，合成语音将根据停顿和pipp进行建模，并通过听力测试进行评估。

The project aims at investigating the phonetic particles contained in speech pauses, such as breath noises or tongue clicks. These particles have been largely neglected in phonetic analyses in contrast to fillers in "filled pauses". The key research question of the project is: What are the contributions of pauses and selected pause-internal phonetic particles (PIPPs) to the phonetic encoding and decoding in spoken language? Based on the analysis of existing speech corpora, across languages and speaking styles, and complemented by new experimental data, we plan to provide an inventory of PIPPs, along with descriptions of their phonetic characteristics and possible communicative functions. In the domain of speech production, the project will focus on the acoustic manifestations of PIPPs, with special attention to the relationship between breathing acoustics and breathing kinematics in our own data. In the domain of speech perception, listening experiments will address the ease of processing and retention, by manipulating pauses and PIPPs, to explore the interplay between the principles of economy of effort (hypospeech) and clarity (hyperspeech). In addition, synthetic speech will be modeled with respect to pauses and PIPPs, and evaluated by listening tests.
