Research Abstract |
As for disfluency, it was shown that the height of filled pauses can be predicted given the linguistic tones of the preceding and following accentual phrases. Prosodic structure of utterance needs not to include the specification of tone for filled pauses. As for declination, the domain of final lowering was examined. It turned out that the domain of final lowering was the final accentual phrase of an utterance, but in the utterances with deep syntactic boundary, the domain could include the penult accentual phrase. This finding put an end to long-standing debate about the domain of final lowering. Lastly, statistical analyses of the occurence frequency of prosodic events revealed that it was possible to predict the gender (sex) and age of the speakers with the accuracy of about 70% (in the case of gender) and 60% (in the case of age group).
