Automatic Syllabification of Italian: adaptation from French.
Résumé
We present an approach to automatic detection of syllable boundaries for Italian. The syllable is credited as a linguistic unit conditioning both segmental (e.g., consonant or vowel lengthening) and prosodic phonology (e.g., tune-text association, rhythmical alternations) and its automatic annotation represent a valuable tool for quantitative analyses of large speech data sets.
