Part 2: RHYTHM – DURATION AND TIMING Część 2: RYTM – ILOCZAS I WZORCE CZASOWE From research to application: creating and applying models of British RP English rhythm and intonation Od badań do aplikacji: tworzenie i zastosowanie modeli rytmu i intonacji języka angielskiego brytyjskiego David R. Hill Department of Computer Science The University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada [email protected] ABSTRACT Wiktor Jassem’s contributions and suggestions for further work have been an essential influence on my own work. In 1977, Wiktor agreed to come to my Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory at the University of Calgary to collaborate on problems asso- ciated with British English rhythm and intonation in computer speech synthesis from text. The cooperation resulted in innovative models which were used in implementing the world’s first completely functional and still operational real-time system for arti- culatory speech synthesis by rule from plain text. The package includes the software tools needed for developing the databases required for synthesising other languages, as well as providing stimuli for psychophysical experiments in phonetics and phonology.

Se pretende aprovechar el gran avance que representan las nuevas tecnologías de identificación con radiofrecuencia (RFID), para su aplicación como sistema de apoyo a personas con déficit de distinta índole. En principio estaba pensado para personas con discapacidad visual, pero su uso es fácilmente extensible a personas con problemas de comprensión y memoria, o cualquier tipo de déficit cognitivo. La idea consiste en ofrecer la posibilidad de reconocer electrónicamente los objetos de la vida diaria, y que un sistema pueda presentar la información asociada mediante un canal verbal. Consta de un terminal portátil equipado con un trasmisor de corto alcance. Cuando el usuario acerca este terminal a un objeto o viceversa, lo identifica y ofrece información complementaria mediante un mensaje oral. -

Half a Century in Phonetics and Speech Research
Fonetik 2000, Swedish phonetics meeting in Skövde, May 24-26, 2000 (Expanded version, internal TMH report) Half a century in phonetics and speech research Gunnar Fant Department of Speech, Music and Hearing, KTH, Stockholm, 10044 Abstract This is a brief outlook of experiences during more than 50 years in phonetics and speech research. I will have something to say about my own scientific carrier, the growth of our department at KTH, and I will end up with an overview of research objectives in phonetics and a summary of my present activities. Introduction As you are all aware of, phonetics and speech research are highly interrelated and integrated in many branches of humanities and technology. In Sweden by tradition, phonetics and linguistics have had a strong position and speech technology is well developed and internationally respected. This is indeed an exciting field of growing importance which still keeps me busy. What have we been up to during half a century? Where do we stand today and how do we look ahead? I am not attempting a deep, thorough study, my presentation will in part be anecdotal, but I hope that it will add to the perspective, supplementing the brief account presented in Fant (1998) The early period 1945-1966 KTH and Ericsson 1945-1949 I graduated from the department of Telegraphy and Telephony of the KTH in May 1945. My supervisor, professor Torbern Laurent, a specialist in transmission line theory and electrical filters had an open mind for interdisciplinary studies. My thesis was concerned with theoretical matters of relations between speech intelligibility and reduction of overall system bandwidth, incorporating the effects of different types of hearing loss. -

Porgy and Bess» in Oltre Settant’Anni Di Interpretazioni DISCOGRAFIA SU «PORGY and BESS»
1 Giovinezza di «Porgy and Bess» in oltre settant’anni di interpretazioni DISCOGRAFIA SU «PORGY AND BESS» di Aloma Bardi [all’interno di ciascun capitolo, le voci sono elencate secondo l’ordine cronologico delle registrazioni] I. «PORGY AND BESS» NELL’INTERPRETAZIONE DI GEORGE GERSHWIN Gershwin performs Gershwin: Rare recordings, 1931-1935. Registr. dal vivo delle prove di una selezione dell’opera; 19 luglio 1935. Introduction – Summertime (Abbie Mitchell); A woman is a sometime thing (Edward Matthews); Atto I, Scena I, Finale; My man’s gone now (Ruby Elzy); Bess, you is my woman now (Todd Duncan, Anne Brown); George Gershwin, pf., dir. e annunciatore; 18:07; MusicMasters 5062-2-C, 1991. Testimonianza memorabile per respiro melodico, scelta dei tempi e ritegno antisentimentalistico risultanti dalla concezione sinfonica della direzione, che pone le voci nel fitto tessuto strumentale. II. INCISIONI DELL’OPERA In Porgy and Bess, la definizione di opera integrale e di versione definitiva è articolata e richiede una precisazione: l’edizione per voce e pf., l’unica stampata e pubblicamente disponibile (Warner Bros., 1935) non è una riduzione della partitura orchestrale, bensì testimonia la fase precedente a quella dell’orchestrazione ed è legata agli abbozzi manoscritti; Gershwin orchestrò l’opera mentre tale ed. era già in stampa. Il testo definitivo è invece convenzionalmente – e discutibilmente – considerato quello stabilito durante le rappresentazioni del debutto a Broadway, risultante da tagli numerosi e talora estesi, per lo più effettuati allo scopo di abbreviare la durata dello spettacolo e di eliminare difficoltà per gli interpreti o complessità ritenute eccessive in quel particolare contesto. Porgy and Bess.
