Prosody in Discourse and Speaker State
This chapter examines prosodic variation in discourse and in speaker state. The discussion of discourse prosody includes an examination of both prosodic entrainment and turn-taking behaviours. Prosodic entrainment results from the tendency of speakers to become more like each other as they speak in a variety of behaviours including pitch, speaking rate, and intensity, as well as higher-level prosodic elements such as pitch accent and phrasal tone…
Entrainment in spoken Hebrew dialogues
Advances in natural language processing
Natural language processing employs computational techniques for the purpose of learning, understanding, and producing human language content. Early computational approaches to language research focused on automating the analysis of the linguistic structure of language and developing basic technologies such as machine translation, speech recognition, and speech synthesis. Today’s researchers refine and make use of such tools in real-world applica…
Fall-Rise Intonation and the Place of Intonational ‘Meaning’ in Linguistic Theory

Affirmative Cue Words in Task-Oriented Dialogue
We present a series of studies of affirmative cue words—a family of cue words such as “okay” or “alright” that speakers use frequently in conversation. These words pose a challenge for spoken dialogue systems because of their ambiguity: They may be used for agreeing with what the interlocutor has said, indicating continued attention, or for cueing the start of a new topic, among other meanings. We describe differences in the acoustic/prosodic rea…

Deaccentuation of Words Representing ‘Given’ Information: Effects of Persistence of Grammatical Function and Surface Position
The absence of intonational prominence on a referring expression ( deaccentuation) is commonly explained as a consequence of the GIVENness of the discourse entity referred to - the fact that it represents old information in the discourse. However, speakers sometimes use accented expressions to refer to such GIVEN entities, so that GIVENness is not a sufficient explanation for deaccentuation. It has also been suggested that speakers tend to expres…

The Meaning of Intonational Contours in the Interpretation of Discourse
Recent investigations of the contribution that intonation makes to overall utterance and discourse interpretation promise new sources of information for the investigation of long-time concerns in natural-language processing.In Hirschberg and Pierrehumbert 1986 we proposed that intonational features such as phrasing, accmt pUuttTWIt, pilch rangt, and huIe represent important sources of information about the attmh0ru3l and the rntmt10rIJAl structur…

Implicating Uncertainty: The Pragmatics of Fall-Rise Intonation
An analysis of naturally occurring data reveals that the FALL–RISE intonational contour makes a context-independent contribution to utterance interpretation: the conveyance of speaker UNCERTAINTY. Two necessary conditions are proposed for the felicitous use of fall–rise: (a) some item referenced in an utterance must be perceived as linked by a scalar relationship with its context; and (b) speaker uncertainty with respect to the scale or scalar va…
An Alternative toEncomienda: Puebla'sIndios de Servicio, 1531-45
Dominating the early decades of Spain's New World settlement was the question of how best to apportion the fruits of conquest. Colonists urgedRepartimiento General, the division among worthy settlers of all lands inseñorioand all indians in hereditaryencomienda. Only aristocratic rewards, they claimed, could attract men of quality to the New World. Onlycaballeroscould hold colonies already won and conquer more lands for Spain. Yet, if such demand…
Social Experiment in New Spain: A Prosopographical Study of the Early Settlement at Puebla de los Angeles, 1531-1534
IN the past historians of colonial Spanish America have had considerable difficulty in separating fact from theory. It has not been easy to distinguish correctly between law and practice, between peninsular policy and colonial implementation, between what cronistas and other observers wrote and what actually happened. Scholars are now exploring the use of new sources-notarial records, Inquisition proceedings, private letters-to bring us closer to…
