A system of stylized intonation contours in German
Modeling intonation, i.e., specifying adequate fundamental frequency (F0) contours, remains a challenging task for speech synthesis systems. This paper discusses the development of a system for phonetically specifying intonation contours for German. It deals with the problem of translating an abstract phonological representation of intonation namely the tone-sequence model into a concrete phone...
متن کاملThe stylization of intonation contours
This paper presents the stylization of intonation contours and clustering of F0 movements on accented and post-accented syllables based on annotated speech corpora. Special software PitchLine has been developed to enable the flexible quasiautomatic segmentation and parametrization of intonation curves. The experimental material obtained from a 15 min passage read by a male speaker included ...
متن کاملDuration and F0 interval of utterance-final intonation contours in the perception of German sentence modality
This paper investigates the influence of duration and F0 interval of the utterance-final F0 contour on the perception of sentence modality, i.e. declarative or interrogative sentence. An utterance-final rising contour with a constant F0 interval of 2 semitones or more and a voicing duration of at least 50 ms leads to unanimously identified interrogative modality. Even at durations of 20 and 30 ...
متن کاملGenerating German intonation with
A trainable prosodic model called SFC (Superposition of Functional Contours), proposed by Holm and Bailly, is here confronted to German intonation. Training material is the publicly available Siemens Synthesis Corpus that provides spoken utterances for high-quality speech synthesis. We describe the labeling framework and first evaluation results that compares the original prosody of test senten...
