Dynamic model of speech: intonation, rhythm and discourse in brazilian portuguese
Luciana Lucente
Journal of Speech Sciences · 3(2), 21-62 · 2013
What the paper examines
This article explores relationships among intonation, rhythm and discourse in Brazilian Portuguese within a dynamic-systems framework. It brings together a rhythm model, an intonation annotation approach and an account of discourse structure.
Reading it in context
The work concerns theoretical modelling and analysis of speech. Its proposed relationships should be read with the recorded material and annotation decisions in mind, rather than as instructions for an individual therapy programme.
A question to read with
How were discourse segments related to the proposed intonational cycles?
