Linguistic Issues in Facial Animation (1991)
Pelachaud, Catherine, Steedman, Mark, Badler, Norman I
Our goal is to build a system of 3D animation and facial expressions of emotion correlated with the intonation of the voice. Up till now, the existing systems did not take into account the link...
Surface Structure, Intonation, and Meaning in Spoken Language (1991)
The paper briefly reviews a theory of intonational prosody and its relation syntax, and to certain oppositions of discourse meaning that have variously been called "topic and comment", "theme and...
Type-Raising and Directionality in Combinatory Grammar (1991)
The form of rules in combinatory categorial grammars (CCG) is constrained by three principles, called "adjacency", "consistency" and "inheritance". These principles have been claimed elsewhere to...

Issues In Facial Animation (1990)

Our goal is to build a system of 3-D animation of facial expressions of emotion correlated with the intonation of the voice. Up till now, the existing systems did not take into account the link...
Structure and Intonation (1990)
Rules for assigning phrasal intonation to sentences are often assumed to require an autonomous level of "intonational structure", distinct from what is usually thought of as surface syntactic...
Structure and Intonation In Spoken Language Understanding (1990)
The structure imposed upon spoken sentences by intonation seems frequently to be orthogonal to their traditional surface-syntactic structure. However, the notion of "intonational structure" as...
Structure and Intonation in Spoken Language Understanding (1990)
The structure imposed upon spoken sentences by intonation seems frequently to be orthogo-hal to their traditional surface-syntactic struc-ture. However, the notion of "intonational...
Information Structure and the Syntax-Phonology Interface
this paper also apply. In particular Oehrle 1987, Moortgat 1988 and Morrill 1994 explicitly relate Lambek-style categorial grammars to prosody. 4 D R A F T 3 . 3
Specifying Intonation from Context for Speech Synthesis
This paper presents a theory and a computational implementation for generating prosodically appropriate synthetic speech in response to database queries. Proper distinctions of contrast and emphasis...
