To(nes and)B(reak)I(ndices)• Prosody annotation convention.
• Two tones: H and L, which may be combined (e.g. H+L)
• Devised originally for Standard American English, but ToBI standards also proposed for Japanese, German, Italian, Spanish, British, Australian English,....
• 4 tiers:
– orthographic tier: words
– break-index tier: degrees of junction
– tonal tier: pitch accents, phrase accents, boundary tones
– miscellaneous tier: disfluencies, non-speech sounds, etc.

Discourse Structure (G&S ’86)
• Series of discourse segments, defined in terms of the speaker’s intentions: the discourse segment purpose (DSP).
• Let a, b: DSP,– a satisfaction-precedes b
iff a must first be achieved in order for b to succeed;– a dominates b
iff fulfilling b partly fulfills a.
Barbara Grosz & Candace Sidner, 1986. “Attention, intentions, and the structure of discourse.” Computational Linguistics 12(3): 175-204.

Multiple “meanings” of intonational contours
• “Declarative” contours (H* L- L%)– Statements– Wh-questions
• Rise-fall-rise contours (L*+H L- H%)– Uncertainty– Incredulity
• H* Downstepped contours (H* (!H*)+ L- (L%|H%)?)– Topic beginnings or endings?– “Given” information?

Understanding the multiple uses of contours is useful and interesting
• In most TTS systems– ‘Standard’ declarative (H* L- L%) contour
over-used – ‘Given’ information deaccented too often
• The H* (!H*)+ L- (L%|H%)? contours might be used instead, if they are appropriate

H* (!H*)+ L- (L%|H%)? in Standard American English
• Topic structure markers (Pierrehumbert & Hirschberg ’90)– Beginning and ending of topics– Professorial tone
• Givenness (Hirschberg & Pierrehumbert ’86, Ladd ’96, Dahan et al ’02)– “This material should already be familiar to you.”– Alternates with deaccenting – when?

• 4 speakers
• 9 increasingly complex direction-giving tasks
• Spontaneous speech transcribed and speakers returned and read
• ~67m spon; ~50m read

Downstep and Discourse Structure
• Distribution of use of DS contours for signaling discourse structure?
• How frequently is discourse structure conveyed using DS contours?
• Does this differ by speaking style (read vs. spontaneous speech)?
• Is there notable speaker variation in either of these?

Speaker variability
• We found high variability (both in spontaneous and read speech) in:– Overall use of DS contours– Distribution of use of DS contours– Frequency with which discourse structure is
conveyed using DS contours
• Only exception:– Speakers employ ~40% or more of their DS
contours over Segment Final phrases.

• Are DS contours used over given information, alternating with a deaccenting strategy?
• If so, when do speakers choose one strategy over another?
• Information status in the BDC data:– at the NP level (both discourse g/n and hearer g/i/n
status),– at the word level (discourse g/n status for individual
lexical items).
• Smaller corpus: only spontaneous data labeled.

• DS contours clearly dominate Hearer-Inferrables.
• DS contours are commonly used over Given information.
• Little evidence from this study that information status is a major predictor of the use of DS contours: equally likely to be used over New NPs.

Games Project - Design
Session:– 3 collaborative computer games.– 2 players, each with an electronic game board.– Unrestricted speech.– No visual contact between subjects.– Subjects were paid a fixed amount of money, plus
a bonus based on their performance.– Each subject participated in 2 sessions with
different partners and on different days.

• Study the relation between the choice of intonational contours and:– givenness status of NPs– syntactic position of NPs– complexity of NPs– proportion of given lexical elements in new NPs– discourse structure

• How?– Games 1 & 2:
• Cards have increasingly more features, increasing the complexity of NPs
• Some features appear more frequently, becoming “given”.• Features appear in different sizes.
– Game 3: • Subject blinking/target image.• Objects images surrounding the target image.
• Pretests

Corpus: – Recorded in a sound-proof booth at Columbia’s
Speech Lab in October 2004.– 12 sessions.– ~20 hours of spontaneous speech.– Fluent dialogues, each game with very different
characteristics. – All dialogues have already been transcribed.– Currently doing ToBI labeling.
