2. 1. Towards a discourse-based model of English sentence intonation

   Author : Merle Horne; Allmän språkvetenskap; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; intonation; discourse; text-to-speech; information focus; pitch; F0; grammatical functions; coreference; prominence; baseline; phonological grid; F0 range; declination; contrastive prominence; syntactic parallelism; phonological phrase; rhythm rule; sentence stress; constrative stress; Raddoppiamento Sintattico; Monosyllabic Destressing; intonational phrase; speech chunk; speech synthesis;

   Abstract : English non-expressive, declarative sentence intonation is examined in a discourse context. A rule system, geared to a text-to-speech context is developed which assigns sentence prominences related to information focus. READ MORE

5. 3. Nuclear Intonation in Swedish : Evidence from Experimental-Phonetic Studies and a Comparison with German

   Author : Gilbert Ambrazaitis; Fonetik; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; parallel encoding; contrastive topic; new information; given information; focus; information structure; pragmatics; nucleus; sentence accent; prosody; word accent; F0; early peak; perception; reaction time;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates Swedish intonation patterns and their interaction with word accent realisation in various pragmatic conditions, using German as a reference language. The point of departure is the wide-spread assumption that Swedish, as a language with a tonal word accent distinction, has a considerably smaller repertoire of nuclear intonation contours than German and other so-called intonation languages.

6. 4. Neural and behavioural mechanisms underlying the processing of negated meanings : Words, pictures and sentences

   Author : Sara Farshchi; Kognition och Discourse@Lund (SKD@L) Språk; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; negation; scalar meanings; artificial language learning; EEG; ERP; semantic incongruities; N400; P600; sentence processing; auditory processing;

   Abstract : This thesis combines a number of methodologies and measures in order to address the processing of two types of negation (with not and un) in relation to each other and to non-negated affirmative meanings. The four investigations in this thesis target the processing of these meanings at different levels, namely the word level (Study 1) and sentence level (Studies 2–4). READ MORE

7. 5. Segmenting and Tagging Text with Neural Networks

   Author : Yan Shao; Joakim Nivre; Jörg Tiedemann; Christian Hardmeier; Yue Zhang; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; neural networks; sequence labelling; multilinguality; word segmentation; sentence segmentation; morpheme segmentation; transliteration; joint word segmentation and POS tagging;

   Abstract : Segmentation and tagging of text are important preprocessing steps for higher-level natural language processing tasks. In this thesis, we apply a sequence labelling framework based on neural networks to various segmentation and tagging tasks, including sentence segmentation, word segmentation, morpheme segmentation, joint word segmentation and part-of-speech tagging, and named entity transliteration.
