The interaction of long-term voice quality with the realisation of focus
(2016)Voice quality shifts have been shown to be associated with the realisation of accent, focus and deaccentuation. Mostly, accented and focally accented syllables are reported to exhibit a tenser mode of phonation than the ... -
Perceptual salience of voice source parameters in signaling focal prominence
(2016)paper describes listening tests investigating the perceptual role of voice source parameters (other than F0) in signaling focal prominence. Synthesized stimuli were constructed on the basis of an inverse filtered utterance ... -
The role of voice quality in the perception of prominence in synthetic speech
(2019)This paper explores how prominence can be modelled in speech synthesis through voice quality variation. Synthetic utterances varying in voice quality (breathy, modal, tense) were generated using a glottal source model ... -
The voice prominence hypothesis: the interplay of F0 and voice source features in accentuation
(2013)This paper explores the interplay of source correlates of accentuation, examining a hypothesis (the Voice Prominence Hypothesis) that different source parameters are involved and may serve as equivalent. It predicts that ... -
Wug-testing phonetic prominence in Munster Irish
(2021)8 speakers of Munster Irish were presented with a series of disyllabic nonwords and directed to read them aloud in a carrier phrase. Each nonword corresponded to a different pairing of syllable weights (e.g. light-heavy, ...
