Aligning pitch targets in speech synthesis : ef fects of syllable structure
The perceptual cross-over point between a Dutch ‘‘flat-hat’’ contour with an early final fall and one with a late final fall is sensitive to the segmental structure of the syllable accented by the fall . The findings are interpreted in terms of segmental influences on the alignment of accented targets (H*) : voiced segments in the syllable onset and coda pull it leftwards and rightwards , respe...
متن کاملthe effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends
flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...
Hybrid syllable/triphone speech synthesis
In this paper, the syllable, an alternative phonetic unit to the phone, is researched in the context of speech synthesis. Several approaches to syllable modelling within the statistical approach (using hidden Markov models) to the acoustic unit inventory creation are proposed and evaluated. To be able to synthesize an arbitrary text, the syllable inventories were supplemented with triphones res...
متن کاملEffects of information structure, syllable structure, and voicing on nuclear falling pitch accents in German
Previous work showed that tonal alignment distinguishes information status (given/new), that syllable structure affects alignment and that the scaling and alignment of tones correlate with focus. We investigate the interaction of these effects on the tonal realization of nuclear falling accents in German. In a production experiment, syllable structure [± open syllable] and voicing of the follow...
متن کاملSyllable Reconstruction in Concatenated Waveform Speech Synthesis
In general purpose concatenated waveform synthesis an exhaustive stored waveforms inventory is needed. Our SPRUCE system is syllable and word based, but for general purpose work its inventory needs examples of all possible syllables. The high-level synthesis engine used to generate the phonology and prosody of utterances is already general purpose – but its use is constrained by small low-level...
