This paper presents a new computational implementation bridging several modules of grammar from 100w products phonetics to phonology to syntax.The system takes as input a speech signal annotated with syllables, interprets the phonetic data in phonological/prosodic terms, matches the data against a lexicon and makes the results available to a linguistically deep computational grammar.The system is showcased by means of read more syntactically ambiguous structures in German which can be disambiguated based on prosodic constituency information.
A system evaluation with the German data showed good results for this new combination of automatic speech signal analysis and computational grammars, which takes a significant step towards a linguistically fine-grained computational analysis and hence towards real automatic speech understanding.
