prosodic

Not necessarily because pronunciation varies substantially across dialects and often also according to prosodic stress and phonetic context.

A bit robotic, with quite a few prosodic errors (which is simple to get used to), but so convenient.

And the punctuation doesn't even begin to do any justice to all the missing prosodic elements.

How did you decouple the speaker-specific vocal characteristics (timbre, pitch range) from the accent-defining phonetic and prosodic features in the latent space?

While the prosodic contour of a sentence does help in parsing, there's a reason no writing system has ever taken notice of it.

I would guess this will improve because some of languages which are currently funded require prosodic information.

Chickering’s translation is very good if you’re into kennings and prosodic structure.

Dan Simmons Shrike books have the same epic scale of Ian M Banks' scifi with the slightly more prosodic style of Ian Banks' standard fiction.

In any case, the question mark encodes whatever prosodic or nonverbal cue(s) you might've said—it adds meaning that the words alone do not really carry.

This data is controlled by different prosodic parameters (e.g.

Furthermore, we improve the human-likeness of the system by adding prosodic speech synthesis.

If speech is text plus prosody, then I see adding a prosodic channel to the programming interface as augmenting/enriching programming languages, not replacing them.

English does have a lot more wrenches to throw in this, like producing nuclear nasals in a range of situations and not always assimilating across prosodic word boundaries—heck, it probably goes both ways in an utterance like "in my main menu".

The difference in meaning isn't a consequence of the presence of the question mark, although that's what people think of as "grammatical." The presence of the question mark and the difference in meaning are both consequences of the prosodic differences between the two sentences.

Prosodic controls would allow much more believable TTS - apple used to have it on the earlier TTS models, but these new TTS models sound so natural at the phoneme level, but the prosody is often jacked up so that it's easily identifiable as artificial.
