Prosody has to do with the prominence and non-prominence of linguistic features such as stress, syllabification, quantity, phrasing and intonation. It is the grammar of rhythm. See Cureton, DM 3-4 for more.
1. The rhythmic and intonational aspect of language. 2. The varying rhythm, stress, and frequency of speech that aids meaning transmission.
Often a flat or unusual tone, that can present as a 'foreign accent'. Prosody means that there is a lack of vocal inflection, and a lack of varying pitch and volume levels, rate, rhythm and inflection.
linguistic patterns of stress and intonation
n. the study of poetic metres and versification.
The distinctive variations of stress, tone, pitch and timing in spoken language.
the study of metrical structures in poetry
Prosody refers to the use of vocal stress and intonation to convey a meaning. For example, the only difference between the noun 'object and the verb ob'ject is that of stress placement. Intonation determines whether the sentence "Mary's eating cake" will be perceived as a statement (pitch falls on the last word) or a question (pitch rises on the last word).
the patterns of stress and intonation in a language
(prosody) a system of versification
the study of poetic meter and the art of versification
Measurable characteristics of speech production including pitch and pitch changes of sounds (e.g., high versus low frequency of sounds), rate of speaking (e.g., fast, medium, slow), stress on sound(s) or syllable(s), length of time sound(s) spoken, and loudness of sound(s).
Study of the metrical systems of poetry. See, for example, iambic pentameter, a common prosodic scheme.
A collection of phonological features including pitch, duration, and stress, that define the rhythm of spoken language.
The inflections or intonations of speech.
the ability to read the meaning in the melodic quality or tone of voice of others (receptive prosody) and give off meaning through melodic quality and tone of one's own voice (expressive prosody). The variations in the melodic quality of the voice are the result of pitch, rhythm and stress.
(Gk. pros 'to' + oide 'song, ode'; ¸ÖÅé3/4Ç¡NÃý«ß3/4Ç): The analysis and description of meters; metrics; the patterns of accent in a language.
term used to refer to speech elements such as intonation, pitch, rate, loudness, rhythm, etc.
the melody or rhythmic aspects of language, such as stress and intonation
Signifies the systematic study of versification in poetry; that is, a study of the principles and practice of meter, rhyme and stanza forms. See Also METER
Appropriate intonation, rate, rhythm and loudness of speech utterances.
The melodic and rhythmic setting of a poetic text.
the variations in stress, pitch, and rhythms of speech that convey meanings
The prosody element permits control of the pitch, speaking rate and volume of the speech output. An s element represents a sentence.
The formal study of the structure of verse including rhyme, meter, rhythm, stanzaic pattern, alliteration, consonance, assonance, language use etc.
the technical analysis of all the sound elements (e.g., rhythm, alliteration, rhyme) in poetry or speech.
"prosodia, metrica; modulazione vocale"
The inflection, timing and accent of speech. recognition mode Each speech recognition engine supports one or more recognition modes that conform to a different code set or data set. For example, each language (or dialect) supported by the engine will have a different mode.
Patterns of intonation, stress, and rhythm that communicate meaning in speech.
In linguistics, prosody describes all the acoustic properties of speech that cannot be predicted from a local window on the orthographic (or similar) transcription. So, prosody is relative to a default pronunciation of a phoneme/feature bundle/segment/syllable; it does not include coarticulation because coarticulation is predictable from the immediate phonological or orthographic neighborhood. Qualitatively, one can understand prosody as the difference between a well-performed play, and one on first reading.
