An investigation of acoustic events related to sentential stress and pitch accents, in English

PC Bagshaw - Speech Communication, 1993 - Elsevier
An algorithm is described which abstracts acoustic parameters of a speech waveform to
automatically transcribe sentential stress and pitch movements. The waveform acoustics …

Criteria for labelling prosodic aspects of English speech

PC Bagshaw, B Williams - 1992 - era.ed.ac.uk
We report a set of labelling criteria which have been developed to label prosodic events in
clear, continuous speech, and propose a scheme whereby this information can be …
