Subject: Making Waves Second Meeting


Our next Making Waves meeting will explore the challenges — and
possible solutions — of annotating multilingual and bilingual prosody.
On November 19, Svenja Krieger will give a short talk titled
“Guidelines for the annotation of intonation data in multi- and
bilingual populations.”
We look forward to seeing many of you there and to another lively
discussion.
Abstract:
The annotation of intonation is inherently language-specific, and no
unified framework has been developed that can be applied across
languages. While the Tone and Break Indices (ToBI) system was
originally designed for English (e.g., Pierrrehumbert, 1980), numerous
adaptations exist for other languages (e.g., GToBI for German, Grice &
Baumann, 2002; ToBIt for Italian, Gili Fivela et al., 2015). However,
these annotation systems are typically based on ‘monolingual’ speech
samples and pose challenges for the annotation of speech from multi-
or bilingual populations. This talk addresses the challenges that
arise when annotating intonation in such speaker groups and discusses
potential solutions. The presentation will conclude with an open
discussion on how existing frameworks might be adapted or extended to
better account for multilingual speech patterns.
