Abstract: The aim of this study is to evaluate the ability of local or global prosodic features in achieving a classification task of word’s uses. The use of French word “oui” in spontaneous discourse can be identified as belonging to the class “convinced (CV)”or “lack of conviction (NCV)”. Statistics of classical prosodic patterns are considered for the classification task. Local features are those computed on single phonemes. Global features are computed on the whole word. The results show that 10 features completely explain the two clusters CV and NCV carried out by linguistic experts, the features having being selected thanks to the Max-Relevance Min-Redundancy filter selection strategy. The duration of the phoneme /w/ is found to be highly relevant for all the investigated classification systems. Local features are predominantly more relevant than global ones. The system was validated by building classification systems in a speaker dependent mode and in a speaker independent mode and also by investigating manual phoneme segmentation and automatic phoneme segmentation. In the most favorable case (speaker dependent mode and manual phoneme segmentation), the rate reached 87.72%. The classification rate reached 78.57% in the speaker independent mode with automatic phoneme segmentation which is a system configuration close to an industrial one. (More)
