摘要: Abstract The structure of a synthesis system is described that uses prominence as central parameter. A definition suitable for this application given. For the empirical foundation reliability ratings by human listeners assessed. These were compared with acoustic data on F 0 and duration. linear relationship between parameter values was found. Two algorithms to transform prosodic parameters are briefly evaluated. focal accents demonstrated. results indicate validity based approach an interface linguistics acoustics.
