Analysing student participation in Foreign Language MOOCs: a case study
(P.A.U. Education, 2014) Bárcena Madera, María Elena; Read, Timothy Martin; Martín Monje, Elena María; Castrillo de Larreta-Azelain, María Dolores
This article discusses the theoretical aspects and practical applications of foreign language massive open online courses (henceforth, LMOOCs). Firstly, LMOOCs are presented as a fairly recent didactic modality that has emerged with an enormous potential for rich, flexible, and attractive collaborative learning and social interaction, in a world where huge economic unbalance gives rise to people with very different access opportunities to both formal language training and the diverse communicative scenarios that enhance the development of language competences. Secondly, the article also analyses the opposing views of LMOOCs presented by skeptical experts. While the practicality of this educational model is generally accepted as providing ‘useful experiences’ with more or less epistemological value, there is still some fundamental doubt that this educational model will actually be useful in helping students gain a command of a foreign language. Thirdly and finally, some of the conventional course quality factors are questioned, namely student participation, dropout and satisfaction. This will be illustrated with data from a sample course undertaken by Bárcena and Martín-Monje: “Professional English”, the first LMOOC in Spain, with over 40,000 students.

Automatic Assessment of Non-Native Prosody by Measuring Distances on Prosodic Label Sequences
(International Speech Communication Association, 2017-08-20) Estebas Vilaplana, Eva
The aim of this paper is to investigate how automatic prosodic labeling systems contribute to the evaluation of non-native pronunciation. In particular, it examines the efficiency of a group of metrics to evaluate the prosodic competence of non-native speakers, based on the information provided by sequences of labels in the analysis of both native and non-native speech. A group of Sp ToBI labels were obtained by means of an automatic labeling system for the speech of native and non-native speakers who read the same texts. The metrics assessed the differences in the prosodic labels for both speech samples. The results showed the efficiency of the metrics to set apart both groups of speakers. Furthermore, they exhibited how nonnative speakers (American and Japanese speakers) improved their Spanish productions after doing a set of listening and repeating activities. Finally, this study also shows that the results provided by the metrics are correlated with the scores given by human evaluators on the productions of the different speakers.

Automatic enjambment detection as a new source of evidence in Spanish versification
(2017) Ruiz Fabo, Pablo; González-Blanco García, Elena; Poibeau, Thierry; Martínez Cantón, Clara Isabel
We present software to automatically identify enjambment (and its type) in Spanish. Traditionally, enjambment is described as a device whereby no syntactic pause occurs at the end of a poetry line, splitting a phrase across two lines. Most definitions highlight the conflict between syntactic and metrical units, yielding stylistic effects like double interpretations. In Spanish versification, Quilis (1964) performed poetry reading experiments, characterizing enjambment as happening only when very cohesive syntactic units, which it would be unnatural to interrupt, are split across lines. Spang (1983) noted that splitting verbs and their subject or object across two lines also triggers (softer) enjambment-like effects. These characterizations are still considered current, but some points in them are debated. To systematically gather evidence on enjambment, we created a Natural Language Processing-based system that automatically detects and types enjambments as characterized above. For evaluation, we manually annotated a reference corpus. We consider system results satisfactory; F1 varied depending on enjambment type and poems’ period. A system and corpus description, and evaluation are at: https://sites.google.com/site/spanishenjambment/ We are not aware of large-sample enjambment studies across periods, literary movements, or versification types in Spanish, or other languages. Automatic detection can provide quantitative evidence for questions in verse theory, e.g.: To what an extent is enjambment used differently in free verse vs. traditional versification? Applying the system to 3750 sonnets covering four centuries is shedding light on unclear points in the definition of enjambment. The system finds line-pairs formally fitting the description of enjambment, but that, upon human validation, we’d consider borderline cases, given other stylistic factors, e.g. hyperbaton. Conversely, our annotators are sometimes surprised that certain line-pairs are not considered enjambed in the typology. Automatic identification of many examples, plus expert validation, is helping towards a more nuanced redefinition of enjambment.

Boundary tones in Spanish declaratives: modelling sustained pitch
(2015-08-10) Estebas Vilaplana, Eva; Gutiérrez, Yurena M.; Vizcaíno, Francisco; Cabrera, Mercedes
The aim of this paper is to present a phonological description of the boundary tones in final and nonfinal declarative sentences in Spanish, drawn from a read news corpus and a dialogue corpus. The final clauses tend to finish with L*L% and sometimes L+H*L%. Four different pitch configurations can be found for non-final patterns: a rise (L*H%), a fallto-mid (H*!H%), a fall-rise (H*LH%) and a sustained tone, which presents different phonetic manifestations depending on the pitch level of the previous accent (H*, !H* or L*). These findings question the validity of the traditional Sp_ToBI convention (HL%) to describe a sustained tone since it cannot account for a level pitch after !H* or L*. A new boundary tone, =%, is proposed whose feature for pitch height is underspecified. For this reason, it can adopt the values of H, !H or L, according to the pitch height of the last accent.
Catalan pre-nuclear accents: evidence for word edge tones
(2003-08-03) Estebas Vilaplana, Eva
The phonological interpretation of pre-nuclear rising accents in Catalan declaratives is examined within the Autosegmental-Metrical framework. Former studies have shown that pre-nuclear rises can neither be described as L*+H (the H is not located at a fixed distance from L* as expected in bitonality) nor as H* with peak delay (there is no correlation between syllable duration and location of the peak). In this paper, a third option is investigated, namely, a pitch accent (L*) and a word edge tone (H). Words with different stress distributions (oxytones, paroxytones and proparoxytones) are analysed to examine the effects of a word boundary on the alignment of the F0 peak. 180 sentences were recorded by two Catalan speakers. The results show that the F0 peak is consistently anchored at the end of the word no matter the number of post-accented syllables. Thus, pre-nuclear rises are interpreted as the combination of L* and H.
Categorización de errores prosódicos en la enseñanza de la pronunciación L2 asistida por ordenador
(Universitat de Girona = Universidad de Gerona, Servei de Publicacions, 2022-03-01) Aguilar, Lourdes; Estebas Vilaplana, Eva
El objetivo del estudio es avanzar en la definición del concepto de “buena formación prosódica” a partir de la identificación de las principales dificultades de categorización de los errores prosódicos en un sistema automático CAPT (Computer Assisted Pronunciation Training), con el fin último de mejorar la enseñanza y aprendizaje de la entonación en L2. Los datos proceden de la revisión manual de un corpus transcrito con segmentos de habla identificados como errores prosódicos y el correspondiente mensaje de retroalimentación. Los resultados de coherencia entre los transcriptores demuestran la complejidad de la tarea de identificar errores en el componente prosódico: el valor de consistencia Kappa=0.432 señala un acuerdo moderado. El análisis de las divergencias a la luz del modelo de la fonología de la entonación permite identificar las principales fuentes de desacuerdo y proponer mejoras en el método de evaluación automática.
Central Catalan declaratives: the relationship between focus and downstep
(1999-08-01) Estebas Vilaplana, Eva; Maidment, John
In this paper we analyze the relationship between focus and downstep in Central Catalan declaratives produced with two peaks. In particular, we examine the hypothesis that broad focus is associated to a downstepped second peak whereas narrow focus blocks the downstep movement. Both broad and narrow focus structures have been analyzed. In utterances produced with narrow focus two variables have been taken into account, namely, the position of the focused material within the sentence (medial or final) and the triggering question (narrow focus triggered by contrast or by new information). The results seem to indicate that in Central Catalan broad focus is always associated with downstep but the link between narrow focus and non-downstep is not so categorical, but shows a continuum of downstep degrees. Overall, non-downstepped peaks are more likely to occur in contrast rather than in new information contexts and in final rather than in medial position.

Digital repertoires of poetry metrics: towards a Linked Open Data ecosystem
(2016-01-01) Curado Malta, Mariana; González-Blanco García, Elena; Rio Riande, Gimena del; Martínez Cantón, Clara Isabel
This paper presents work-in-progress of the POSTDATA project. This project aims to provide means to solve the interoperability issues that exist among the digital poetry repertoires. These repertoires hold data of poetry metrics that is locked in their own databases and it is not freely available to be compared and to be used by intelligent machines that could infer over the data. The POSTDATA project will use Linked Open Data (LOD) technologies to overcome the interoperability problems. POSTDATA is developing a metadata application prole (MAP) for the digital poetry repertoires, a construct that enhances interoperability. This development follows the method for the development of MAP (Me4MAP). A MAP for the digital poetry repertoires will open doors for these repertoires to be able to structure the data with a common model in order to publish it as Linked Open Data. This paper presents how this MAP is being developed so far.
