CALLIOPE: A multi-dimensional model for the prosodic characterization of Information Units

CALLIOPE is a conceptual multi-dimensional model that aims at approximating and categorizing the prosodic phenomena taking into account of all possible independent factors affecting the sound of so-called Information Units (IUs). In CALLIOPE, each IU is associated with a tuple composed of 12 labels, each belonging to a different dimension representing a characteristic influencing the prosodic behaviour. Its ultimate aim is creating well-defined corpora suitable for linguistic and engineering research.
