Abstract:
The present study has two goals relating to the grammar of prosody, understood as the rhythms and melodies of speech. First, an overview is provided of the computable grammatical and phonetic approaches to prosody analysis which use hypothetico-deductive methods and are based on learned hermeneutic intuitions about language. Second, a proposal is presented for an inductive grounding in the physical signal, in which prosodic structure is inferred using a language-independent method from the low-frequency spectrum of the speech signal. The overview includes a discussion of computational aspects of standard generative and post-generative models, and suggestions for reformulating these to form inductive approaches. Also included is a discussion of linguistic phonetic approaches to analysis of annotations (pairs of speech unit labels with time-stamps) of recorded spoken utterances. The proposal introduces the inductive approach of Rhythm Formant Theory (RFT) and the associated Rhythm Formant Analysis (RFA) method ... : 29 pages, 10 figures, code appendix, to appear in "Studies in Prosodic Grammar" ...
