![]() ![]() Some languages allow a sonority "plateau" that is, two adjacent tautosyllabic consonants with the same sonority level. Some languages possess syllables that violate the SSP ( Russian and English, for example) while other languages strictly adhere to it, even requiring larger intervals on the sonority scale: In Italian for example, a syllable-initial stop must be followed by either a liquid, a glide or a vowel, but not by a fricative (except: borrowed words like: pseudonimo, psicologia). The sonority values of segments are determined by a sonority hierarchy.Ī good example for the SSP in English is the one-syllable word "trust": The first consonant in the syllable onset is t, which is a stop, the lowest on the sonority scale next is r, a liquid which is more sonorous, then we have the vowel u / ʌ / - the sonority peak next, in the syllable coda, is s, a fricative, and last is another stop, t. ![]() The SSP states that the center of a syllable, namely the syllable nucleus, often a vowel, constitutes a sonority peak that is preceded and/or followed by a sequence of segments- consonants-with progressively decreasing sonority values (i.e., the sonority has to fall toward both edges of the syllable).

Goal: Using periodic energy to account for quantitative aspects of pitch we present a set of ProPer tools that exploit the interaction between continuous acoustic entities - F0 and periodic energy - to achieve richer visualizations and more complete characterizations of prosodic aspects of speech: prosodic prominence, pitch contour and speech-rate.Ĭheck out the open ProPer repository on OSF at ![]() ProPer: PROsodic analysis with PERiodic energy Thesis supervisors: Martine Grice and Doris Mücke. The Nucleus Attraction Principle (NAP) is modelled with both continuous and symbolic terms as two complementary top-down and bottom-up models that subsume traditional sonority-based principles like the Sonority Sequencing Principle (SSP) with major improvements. Develop a general principle of "nucleus attraction" that aligns periodic peaks and syllabic nuclei, and predicts wellformedness as a function of competition for the nucleus within syllables. Goal: Define sonority in perceptual terms (pitch intelligibility) with acoustic correlates (periodic energy). PhD thesis: A model of sonority based on pitch intelligibility ![]()
