Abstract

Based on the small speech database of Tibetan single sentences, we get three layers of prosodic structure units by prosodic marking, syllables, prosodic words and prosodic phrases, to study the internal and boundary syllable duration and fundamental frequency data in different prosodic units. The statistical results show that: (a) the syllables duration before and in the prosodic boundary are lengthened, the larger the prosodic units are, the larger the degree of lengthening duration is, but there is no rules of syllables systematic variation after the boundary. (b) It is possible that the f0 reset in the boundary of prosodic hierarchy is positive or negative reset, and the degree of f0 reset is positively correlated with prosodic hierarchy.
