Recurrent multiword units as networks
Recurrent multiword units (RMUs) are central to language processing, yet their systematic identification and networked organization remain understudied. This study combines corpus-based and network-analytic methods to examine how RMUs contribute to the emergence of constructional schemas. Drawing on a 185-million-word corpus of Taiwan Mandarin, we pursue two aims. First, we propose a quantitative method for identifying cohesive RMUs based on word…
Pitch variability in spontaneous speech production and its connection to usage-based grammar
Prosodic encoding in Mandarin spontaneous speech
This study reports the cross-boundary f0 shifting of prosodic units (PU) in Mandarin conversational speech by analyzing the PU-initial and PU-final f0 heights as a function of its semantic structure. Initial and final f0 heights were defined as the f0 values extracted at the energy max of the first and the last syllable of the PU. The semantic structure of the PU was defined based on its co-extensiveness with a semantic unit in discourse (DU), i.…
