| "text": "Prosodic information can mark lexical stress, identify phrasing breaks, and provide information useful for semantic interpretation. Each of these aspects of prosody can benefit a spoken language system (SLS). In this paper we describe the modification of a grammar to take advantage of prosodic information provided by a speech component. Though prosody includes a variety of acoustic phenomena used for a variety of linguistic effects, we limit this initial study to the use of relative duration of phonetic segments in the assignment of syntactic structure, specifically in ruling out alternative parses in otherwise ambiguous sentences. It is rare that prosody alone disambiguates otherwise identical phrases. However, it is also rare that any one source of information is the sole feature that separates one phrase from all competitors. Taking advantage of prosodic information in parsing can make a spoken language system more accurate and more efficient, if prosodic-syntactic mismatches, or unlikely matches, can be pruned out. Prosodic struc-ture and syntactic structures are not, of course, completely identical. Rhythmic structures and the necessity of breathing influence the prosodic structure, but not the syntactic structure (Gee and Grosjean 1983, Cooper and Paccia-Cooper 1980 ) . Further, there are aspects of syntactic structure that are not typically marked prosodically. Our goal is to show that at least some prosodic information can be automatically extracted and used to improve syntactic analysis. Other studies have pointed to possibilities for deriving syntax from prosody (see e.g., Gee and Grosjean 1983, Briscoe and Boguraev 1984, and Komatsu, Oohira, and Ichikawa 1989) but none to our knowledge have communicated speech information directly to a parser in a spoken language system.", |

| "text": "For our corpus of sentences we selected a subset of a corpus developed previously (see Price et aL 1989) for investigating the perceptual role of prosodic information in disambiguating sentences. A set of 35 phonetically ambiguous sentence pairs of differing syntactic structure was recorded by professional FM radio news announcers. By phonetically ambiguous sentences, we mean sentences that consist of the same string of phones, i.e., that suprasegmental rather than segmental information is the basis for the distinction between members of the pairs. Members of the pairs were read in disambiguating contexts on days separated by a period of several weeks to avoid exaggeration of the contrast. In the earlier study listeners viewed the two contexts while hearing one member of the pair, and were asked to select the appropriate context for the sentence. The results showed that listeners can, in general, reliably separate phonetically and syntactically ambiguous sentences on the basis of prosody. The original study investigated seven types of structural ambiguity. The present study used a subset of the sentence pairs which contained prepositional phrase attachment ambiguities, or particle/preposition ambiguities (see Appendix).", |

In related work on the perception of prosodic information, trained phoneticians labeled the same sentences with an integer between zero and five inclusive between every two words. These numbers, 'prosodic break indices,' encode the degree of prosodic decoupling of neighboring words, the larger the number, the more of a gap or break between the words. We found that we could label such break indices with good agreement within and across labelers. In addition, we found that these indices quite often disambiguated the sentence pairs, as illustrated below.", |

| "text": "So far we had established that naive listeners and trained listeners appear to be able to separate such ambiguous sentence pairs on the basis of prosodic information. If we could extract such information automatically perhaps we could make it available to a parser. We found a clue in an effort to assess the phonetic ambiguity of the sentence pairs. We used SRI's DECIPHER speech recognition system, constrained to recognize the correct string of words, to automatically label and time-align the sentences used in the earlier referenced study. The DECIPHER system is particularly well suited to this task because it can model and use very bushy pronunciation networks, accounting for much more detail in pronunciation than other systems. This extra detail makes it better able to time-align the sentences and is a stricter test of phonetic ambiguity. We used the DE-CIPHER system (Weintraub et al. 1989) to label and time-align the speech, and verified that the sentences were, by this measure as well as by the earlier perceptual verification, truly ambiguous phonetically. This meant that the information separating the member of the pairs was not in the segmental information, but in the suprasegmental information: duration, pitch and pausing. As a byproduct of the labeling and time alignment, we noticed that the durations of the phones could be used to separate members of the pairs. This was easy to see in phonetically ambiguous sentence pairs: normally the structure of duration patterns is obscured by intrinsic duration of phones and the contextual effects of neighboring phones. In the phonetically ambiguous pairs, there was no need to account for these effects in order to see the striking pattern in duration differences. If a human looking at the duration patterns could reliably separate the members of the pairs, there was hope for creating an algorithm to perform the task automatically. This task could not take advantage of such pairs, but would have to face the problem of intrinsic phone duration.", |
