Sønderborg&nbsp;and Tønder, and in two varieties of German,&nbsp;Standard North German and Flensburg. The following&nbsp;facts appear: <span style="text-decoration: underline;">sentence intonation</span> (understood to&nbsp;encompass both utterance function and utterance juncture)&nbsp;is signalled globally in Tønder, locally in&nbsp;Sønderborg, and with a mixture of global and local&nbsp;signalling in German. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Default accents</span> are nonexistent&nbsp;in the two Danish varieties, optional in&nbsp;German. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Focus</span> is signalled, optionally (and never&nbsp;in final position), by stress reduction of the surroundings&nbsp;in the Danish regions, but is compulsory&nbsp;and takes the shape of a proper sentence accent,&nbsp;though modest, in German. Sønderborg and German have&nbsp;unambiguous <span style="text-decoration: underline;">final lengthening</span>, whereas both lengthening&nbsp;and shortening finally occurs in Tønder. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Prosodic&nbsp;stress group patterns</span> suffer a clean truncation when&nbsp;their duration is shortened in the Danish regions,&nbsp;but a mixture of compression and truncation in German.&nbsp;Finally, Tønder has stød, Sønderborg and (of course)&nbsp;German do not.</p> Nina Grønnum Thorsen Copyright (c) 1989 Author 1989-01-01 1989-01-01 23 1 85 10.7146/aripuc.v23i.131902 What language do "the spirits of the yellow leaves" speak?: A case of conflicting lexical and phonological evidence https://tidsskrift.dk/ARIPUC/article/view/131903 <p>This paper (which in part summarizes two&nbsp;papers to appear in <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Acta Orientalia</span> but&nbsp;which presents separate information as&nbsp;well) deals with some issues raised by&nbsp;descriptive and comparative linguistic&nbsp;work in northern Thailand. The putative&nbsp;Austroasiatic languages "Yumbri" and "Mrabri"&nbsp;(more correctly: Mlabri) have been&nbsp;assigned to "Khmuic" within the Mon-Khmer&nbsp;languages, but the relationship between&nbsp;these two idioms has been a controversial&nbsp;issue. On the basis of recent fieldwork&nbsp;all existing data on "Yumbri" and "Mrabri"&nbsp;can be shown to reflect one and the same&nbsp;language Mlabri in spite of wide discrepancies&nbsp;in notation; these do not even reveal&nbsp;major <span style="text-decoration: underline;">phonological</span> dialect differences&nbsp;whereas there are conspicuously different&nbsp;<span style="text-decoration: underline;">lexical</span> usages. This has not so far been&nbsp;properly understood because of difficulties&nbsp;in the interpretation of earlier data which&nbsp;were all gathered by amateurs. - As for the&nbsp;tentative genetic classification of Mlabri&nbsp;as <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Khmuic</span>, the lexical evidence used to&nbsp;substantiate this claim now turns out to be&nbsp;controversial: a large number of the Khmuic&nbsp;words in Mlabri are rather direct reflexes&nbsp;of en early stage of Tin, a language that&nbsp;has been assigned to the Khmuic branch of&nbsp;Mon-Khmer. Thus, it is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">either</span> the case&nbsp;that Mlabri and Tin are sister-languages&nbsp;(forming a "Tinic" branch of Khmuic) <span style="text-decoration: underline;">or</span>&nbsp;that Mlabri has early borrowings from Tin.</p> Jørgen Rischel Copyright (c) 1989 Author 1989-01-01 1989-01-01 23 87 118 10.7146/aripuc.v23i.131903 Syntax, morphology, and phonology in text-to-speech systems https://tidsskrift.dk/ARIPUC/article/view/131904 <p>The paper is concerned with the integration of linguistic information&nbsp;in text-to-speech systems. Research in synthesis proper is at&nbsp;a stage where the need for systematic integration of comprehensive&nbsp;linguistic information in such systems is making itself felt&nbsp;more than ever. A surface structure parsing system is presented&nbsp;whose main virtue is that it permits linguists to express syntactic&nbsp;as well as lexical and morphological regularities and irregularities&nbsp;of a language in a simple and easy-to-learn formalism. Most&nbsp;aspects of the system are seen in the light of Danish and -&nbsp;sporadically - English and Finnish surface structure.</p> Peter Molbæk Hansen Copyright (c) 1989 Author 1989-01-01 1989-01-01 23 119 152 10.7146/aripuc.v23i.131904 Institute of Phonetics, January 1 – April 30, 1988 https://tidsskrift.dk/ARIPUC/article/view/131905 <p>No abstract</p> ARIPUC Copyright (c) 1989 Author 1989-01-01 1989-01-01 23 153 156 10.7146/aripuc.v23i.131905
