Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Linguistics
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Phonology

Pilar Prieto mostly deals with Linguistics, Catalan, Intonation, Gesture and Phonology. Her study in Stress, Phonetics, Romance languages, Prosody and Stress falls under the purview of Linguistics. Her Catalan research incorporates themes from Lexicon, Pragmatics and Reading.

Her work in Intonation covers topics such as Variety which are related to areas like Sentence, Interrogative word, Interrogative and Catalan dialects. Her Gesture study combines topics in areas such as Object, Speech recognition, Grammatical development and Developmental psychology. Her Speech recognition study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Babbling and Deixis.

Her most cited work include:

  • Tonal alignment patterns in Spanish (252 citations)
  • Pitch downtrend in Spanish (99 citations)
  • Acoustic correlates of stress in central Catalan and Castilian Spanish (81 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Pilar Prieto mainly investigates Linguistics, Gesture, Catalan, Intonation and Prosody. Phonology, Syllable, Stress, Romance languages and Vowel are the subjects of her Linguistics studies. Her Gesture research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cognitive psychology, Perception, Communication, Nonverbal communication and Speech recognition.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including European Portuguese, Variety, Grammar and Phrase. Pilar Prieto works mostly in the field of Intonation, limiting it down to topics relating to Tone and, in certain cases, Pitch accent, as a part of the same area of interest. Her research integrates issues of Politeness and Set in her study of Prosody.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Linguistics (66.32%)
  • Gesture (45.60%)
  • Catalan (31.09%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Gesture (45.60%)
  • Linguistics (66.32%)
  • Pronunciation (7.77%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Gesture, Linguistics, Pronunciation, Cognitive psychology and Prosody are her primary areas of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Narrative, Nonverbal communication, Communication, Language development and Meaning in addition to Gesture. Pilar Prieto performs multidisciplinary study in Linguistics and Singing in her work.

Pilar Prieto combines subjects such as Speech recognition and Foreign language with her study of Pronunciation. Her Cognitive psychology research includes elements of First language, Comprehension and Embodied cognition. Her research integrates issues of Semantics, Negation, Double negation and Pragmatics in her study of Prosody.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Observing storytellers who use rhythmic beat gestures improves children's narrative discourse performance. (11 citations)
  • Observing and producing pitch gestures facilitates the learning of Mandarin chinese tones and words (10 citations)
  • Hand-clapping to the rhythm of newly learned words improves L2 pronunciation: Evidence from training Chinese adolescents with French words: (8 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Linguistics
  • Statistics
  • Artificial intelligence

Her main research concerns Gesture, Nonverbal communication, Pronunciation, Intonation and Meaning. Her work in Gesture addresses subjects such as Encoding, which are connected to disciplines such as Perception, Vowel length, Imitation, Epistemic commitment and Matching. The various areas that Pilar Prieto examines in her Pronunciation study include Cognitive psychology, Foreign language and Speech recognition.

Pilar Prieto interconnects Epistemology and Certainty in the investigation of issues within Intonation. Her study with Meaning involves better knowledge in Linguistics. Her Linguistics study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Developmental psychology.
