Topic: Segment (linguistics)



  
 Definitions of Linguistic Terminology
A branch of linguistics dealing with the analysis, description, and classification of speech sounds, or segment s.
Words that through their segment s imitate sounds one can hear in the environment.
A euphemism develops so that the thing can be talked about without actually saying it.

 LINGUISTICS - Linguistics 2 - Phonology : homepage
Phonology and Phonetics in Linguistics 2: In Linguistics 1 you learned some basic terminology for describing phonetic segments, and your learned principles for grouping segments into functionally distinct units (phonemes) in any given language and describing the phonemes in terms of functional classes (features).
In Linguistics 2 we pursue both phonetic description and phonological analysis in several ways.
The first part of Semester 1 is devoted to learning more about phonological structure and about phonological phenomena that go beyond the segment.

 INVESTIGATING PEAK TIMING IN NATURALLY-OCCURRING SPEECH.
He cites evidence from Swedish which shows that the starred tone within word accents is the point most reliably anchored in the stressed syllable; other f0 points, such as the focal H accent, may not be critically timed to specific syllables but will be adjusted in alignment according to the segmental material available.
Segment classes are important to f0 timing in other ways.
At the same time, the variability in the duration of the f0 movement was much less than that of the segments themselves, so the two duration measures could not be considered to be in direct proportion.

 MULTI-PARAGRAPH SEGMENTATION OF EXPOSITORY TEXT
Two fully-implemented versions of the algorithm are described and shown to produce segmentation that corresponds well to human judgments of the major subtopic boundaries of thirteen lengthy texts.
The chains are used to structure texts according to the attentional/intentional theory of discourse structure [ Grosz and Sidner1986 ], and the extent of the chains correspond to the extent of a segment.
Lexical cohesion computed by thesaural relations as an indicator of the structure of text.

The Edge(x) function (5) returns the segment which is initial or final in the string.
Here No-Intervening(ag; L) outranks the coda constraint, so in the optimal form in the tableau in (29) the affix appears word initially (29a).
In a consonant initial verb the optimal candidate (10a) places the affix at the beginning of the word, since in this case the resulting additional violation of the lower ranked No-Coda is tolerable.

Subsequent measurements of two females speakers yielded a quite different pattern: for VF0, [i] > [e] > [?] in all contexts, while CF0 differed in a variety of ways that could not be consistently related to prosodic context.
So far as I know, no comparable data are available on the effects of prosodic or tonal context on the F0 differences between obstruents contrasting for voicing (here CF0).
The contrast between the VF0 and CF0 results in the male speaker’s pilot data suggested that VF0 differences between vowels depend on the vowel’s prominence (or tone) because both are specified on the same segment.

 1998 SIL-UND Work Papers Table of Contents
Huariapano, an extinct language of Peru, exhibits an unusual process of coda epenthesis by which the segment [h] is inserted in odd-numbered syllables of the prosodic word.
Crucial to an understanding of this phenomenon is the correct interpretation of its metrical function: do these [h]'s represent an augmentation of the strong syllables of trochaic feet, or a partial devoicing of the nuclear vowel in the weak syllables of iambic feet?
This article presents the results of an instrumental study which indicates that insofar as their relative duration is concerned, syllable-final [h]'s in Huariapano pattern as fully moraic coda consonants in keeping with the trochaic constraint HeavyFootHead.

 Citations: Lexical cohesion computed by thesaural relations as an indicator of the structure of text - Morris, Hirst (ResearchIndex)
On the linguistics side, Hoey [1991] takes a more global approach, trying to account 29 for all the lexical links in a text, using sentence as the unit of cohesion.
introduced a linear discourse segmentation algorithm based on lexical cohesion relations determined by use of Roget s thesaurus [31, 32] Similarly, Kozima [18, 19, 20] has proposed a method which computes the semantic similarity between words using a semantic network constructed from a subset of.

Manner of articulation – The classification of segments on the basis of the type of articulation needed to produce the segment such as stop, fricative, glide, etc.

 Prof. Wolfgang Teubert
For corpus linguistics, the meaning of a text or of a text segment is independent of the intentions of its speaker (its author).
Linguistics is not a science like the natural sciences whose remit is the search for ‘truth’.
However, corpus linguistics is also concerned with specific claims.
