Schwa-assimilation in danish synthetic speech
Assimilation of schwa into surrounding sonorant consonants is a vital feature of natural Danish speech. It varies with speaking rate and speaking style and is more likely to occur in some phonological contexts than in others. This presents some problems for the implementation of the process into a Danish textto-speech system.
متن کاملUnderstanding and Using Boundries in NVOs
One of the most important characteristics of virtual and networked organizations is the facilitation of interactions across institutional boundaries. However, the facilitation of this cross-boundary interaction does not mean that these boundaries cease to exist altogether; they may change forms, but still maintain their function and importance, and should be taken into consideration both in the...
متن کاملFrench schwa and gradient cumulativity
We model the interaction of two phonological factors that condition French schwa alternations: schwa is more likely after two consonants; and schwa is more likely in the penultimate syllable. Using new data from a judgment study, we show that both factors play a role in schwa epenthesis and deletion, confirming previous impressionistic descriptions, and that the two factors interact cumulativel...
متن کاملThe schwa in albanian
In Albanian, the schwa as a phoneme is restricted to the Tosk variety, whereas it is described as a back, rounded vowel in the Gheg variety.

No differences could be found within the borders of the Republic of Albania, whereas speakers outside the borders dis...
متن کاملSchwa variants in american English
In this study, we examine the acoustic structure of schwa variants in a speech corpus intended for concatenative TTS. Our goals are two-fold. First, as a matter of academic interest, we seek to characterize schwa acoustics in a speech corpus designed to provide broad coverage of diand tri-phone contexts. This characterization extends recent work on the distinction between the barred-i variant o...
