Intonation des phrases interrogatives et affirmatives en langue Berbère

Hocine Teffahi , Ramzi Halimouche

This work is at the frontier between multimedia information retrieval and automatic speech processing. During the last years, a new task emerged in speech processing: the rich transcription of an audio document. An important meta-data for rich transcription is the information on sentence type (i.e. sentence of interrogative or affirmative type). The study on the prosodic differences between these two types of sentences, the detection and classification of sentence type in Berber language is the main subject of this research work. Our departure is a study on French language. We’ve realized a system for segmentation and automatic detection of sentence type based on both prosodic. After this first study on French, we’ve extended our research in Berber language, a language where all studies until now on prosodic system are still preliminary. We’ve carried a study on the prosodic differences between interrogative and affirmative sentences. A classification motor has been built.
