It has been pointed out that the<br clear='none'\/>\ntiming of F0 fall in Japanese sometimes occurs later than the<br clear='none'\/>\nlexically accented syllable (Sugito, 1982). As reported earlier, the<br clear='none'\/>\namount of delay is larger in IDS than in ADS (Kitahara et al.,<br clear='none'\/>\n2008). Their analysis was based solely on the highest point of F0,<br clear='none'\/>\nhowever. The present study gives a more detailed analysis of the F0<br clear='none'\/>\ncontour of the whole accentual phrase by fitting a three-piece linear<br clear='none'\/>\nregression (Cho, 2010) for the rising part and the falling part<br clear='none'\/>\nseparately.<\/p>\n<p>The acoustic data were taken from Riken Japanese Mother-Infant<br clear='none'\/>\nConversation Corpus (R-JMICC) and a list-reading corpus spoken by the<br clear='none'\/>\nsame group of mothers as R-JMICC. A preliminary analysis of the data<br clear='none'\/>\nshowed that the delayed-fall tokens tend to have a delayed-rise as<br clear='none'\/>\nwell. It was also found that the timing of the lower and the upper<br clear='none'\/>\nelbows in the F0 contours have a systematic difference in IDS than in<br clear='none'\/>\nADS. Theoretical implications for autosegmental\/metrical phonology<br clear='none'\/>\nbased on these results will be discussed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Mafuyu Kitahara Date: Sept 19 (Monday) Time: 5 pm Location: 32-D831 Title: Alignment and scaling of pitch accent in Japanese Infant-Directed and Adult-Directed Speech Authors: Mafuyu Kitahara, Ken&#8217;ya Nishikawa, Yousuke Igarashi, and Reiko Mazuka Abstract: The present study examined F0 contour in Infant-Directed Speech (IDS) and Adult-Directed Speech (ADS).
