Download or read book Methods in prosody written by Ingo Feldhausen and published by Language Science Press. This book was released on 2018-10-25 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a collection of pioneering papers reflecting current methods in prosody research with a focus on Romance languages. The rapid expansion of the field of prosody research in the last decades has given rise to a proliferation of methods that has left little room for the critical assessment of these methods. The aim of this volume is to bridge this gap by embracing original contributions, in which experts in the field assess, reflect, and discuss different methods of data gathering and analysis. The book might thus be of interest to scholars and established researchers as well as to students and young academics who wish to explore the topic of prosody, an expanding and promising area of study.

Download or read book Comparative Literature in the Light of Chinese Prosody written by Shudong Chen and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-10-31 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the light of Chinese prosody and various mutually illuminating major cases from the original English, Chinese, French, Japanese and German classical literary texts, the book explores the possibility of discovering “a road not taken” within the road well-trodden in literature. In an approach of “what Wittgenstein calls criss-crossing,” this monographic study, the first ever of this nature, as Roger T. Ames points out in the Foreword, also emphasizes a pivotal “recognition that these Chinese values [revealed in the book] are immediately relevant to the Western narrative as well”; the book demonstrates, in other words, how such a “criss-crossing” approach would be unequivocally possible as long as our critical attention be adequately turned to or pivoted upon the “trivial” matters, a posteriori, in accordance with the live syntactic-prosodic context, such as pauses, stresses, phonemes, function words, or the at once text-enlivened and text-enlivening ambiguity of “parts of speech,” which often vary or alter simultaneously according to and against any definitive definition or set category a priori. This issue pertains to any literary text across cultures because no literary text would ever be possibleif it were not, for instance, literally enlivened by the otherwise overlooked “meaningless” function words or phonemes; the texts simultaneously also enliven these “meaningless” elements and often turn them surreptitiously into sometimes serendipitously meaningful and beautiful sea-change-effecting “les mots justes.” Through the immeasurable and yet often imperceptible influences of these exactly “right words,” our literary texts, such as a poem, could thus not simply “be” but subtly “mean” as if by mere means of its simple, rich, and naturally worded being, truly a special “word picture” of dasDing an sich. Describable metaphorically as “museum effect” and “symphonic tapestry,” a special synaesthetic impact could also likely result from such les-mots-justes-facilitated subtle and yet phenomenal sea changes in the texts.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume incorporates some of the most important trends in linguistically-oriented theory of verse. It includes papers from renowned scholars, such as Paul Kiparsky, Reuven Tsur, Gregory Nagy, Seiichi Suzuki, David Chisholm, Geoffrey Russom, Marina Tarlinskaja, and others. Different aspects of comparative prosody are treated, drawing from contemporary approaches such as cognitive metrics, generative modelling, experimental phonetics, etc. Special emphasis is placed on the linguistic typology of verse forms as well as on their origin and historical evolution. The analysis encompasses different languages and poetical traditions, such as Greek, Latin, Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew, Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Irish, Old Norse, Lithuanian, Serbian, English, German, Swedish, Russian, Estonian, Finnish, Nenets. The main focus is on the linguistic structures of verse in different cultures, their transformations and interrelationship. The volume aims to instigate and promote a fruitful dialogue between different schools in the study of versification.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a collection of cutting-edge papers on methodological aspects of prosody research. Current approaches to the gathering, treatment, and interpretation of prosodic data are discussed by experts in the field, illustrated by their own empirical research. Contributions focus on the choice and measurement of prosodic parameters, the establishment of prosodic categories, annotation structures for spoken-language data, and experimental methods for production and perception studies (including the construction of materials, modes of presentation, online vs. offline tasks, judgement scales, data processing, and statistical evaluation). The volume will serve as a handbook linking data collection and interpretation, allowing researchers in linguistics and related fields to make more informed decisions concerning their empirical work in prosody.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A recent wave of research has explored the link between wh- syntax and prosody, breaking with the traditional generative conception of a unidirectional syntax-phonology relationship. In this book, Jason Kandybowicz develops Anti-contiguity Theory as a compelling alternative to Richards' Contiguity Theory to explain the interaction between the distribution of interrogative expressions and the prosodic system of a language. Through original and highly detailed fieldwork on several under-studied West African languages (Krachi, Bono, Wasa, Asante Twi, and Nupe), Kandybowicz presents empirically and theoretically rich analyses bearing directly on a number of important theories of the syntax-prosody interface. His observations and analyses stem from original fieldwork on all five languages and represent some of the first prosodic descriptions of the languages. The book also considers data from thirteen additional typologically diverse languages to demonstrate the theory's reach and extendibility. Against the backdrop of data from eighteen languages, Anti-contiguity offers a new lens on the empirical and theoretical study of wh- prosody.

Download or read book Prosody as a Strategy for the Comparative Analysis of Poetic Setting by John Duke and Ned Rorem written by Mark Wade Greenawalt and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to convey a message artistically can be a challenge for singers of American art song. Many technical and linguistic components must be coordinated to achieve optimal performance. Of those components, researchers often overlook the study of prosody. Prosody refers to all variations of frequency, intensity, or duration which, for a given language affect intonation, stress, or rhythm. The purpose of this study is to explore prosody in American poetry as it pertains to selected American art songs by John Duke and Ned Rorem. In the songs selected for study, this researcher will: 1) examine the prosody of selected American poems set by both composers, 2) investigate John Duke’s and Ned Rorem’s musical settings of the same American poems 3) compare their musical settings of these American poems and 4) suggest artistic possibilities based on the prosody of selected American poems and its musical setting. Characteristics of prosody to be studied will be limited to accent and rhythm. This researcher will provide a strategy toward performance for classical singers of American poems by way of comparative analysis between American art song compositions.

Download or read book Prosody and Syntax written by Yuji Kawaguchi and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of papers is the third volume of the series Usage-Based Linguistic Informatics (UBLI), a product of the 21st Century COE Program of the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies (TUFS). Prosody, as used in this text, appears in units larger than segments and generally refers to the field that studies various phonological properties connected to utterances involving pitch, intensity, and length. These phonetic features almost always appear within complex combinations such as word and sentence accents and intonation. The subtitle, Cross-Linguistic perspectives, does not imply mere, cross-linguistic comparison and contrast of the prosodic phenomena. Rather, it implies that there are a variety of approaches which are unique to each language for prosodic analysis. In fact, the volume consists of prosodic analyses in 12 different languages : French, English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Makonde, Indonesian, Tagalog and Turkish.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the current discourse in pragmatics, multi-perspective methods are seen as the best way to understand language use in context. Within this discussion, the volume adopts diverse approaches to pragmatics, and focuses on comparing a wide selection of languages, including English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Japanese, Polish, and Swedish. The contributions deal with grammatical expressions, prosody, textual genres and speech acts, which occur in different social interactions and in multicultural environments, including foreign language learning and lingua franca situations. Each topic is analysed by comparing its usage in at least two different languages or by contrasting the linguistic behaviour of different groups of language users.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an open access title available under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence. This book examines some of the main factors determining the word order of Italian sentences. One such factor, contrastive focus, concerns the final position of phrases that are emphatically contrasted relative to other similar phrases (e.g. "JOHN called, not Bill"). The study of Italian has been particularly relevant to claims that these phrases must always be placed in specific positionstoward the front of a sentence. This book examines the conflicting conditions affecting sentences containing both focused and unfocused phrases, showing that when these conditions and their effects areidentified, the position of contrastively focused phrases is radically different from what was previously thought. The book also investigates why this would be the case, concluding that prosodic conditions concerning the placement of intonational stress are ultimately responsible for key aspects of the word order of Italian sentences, an unexpected result showing that intonation can affect how words are combined together.
