Title : Mimetic gemination in Japanese : A challenge for Evolutionary Phonology

Blevins’s Evolutionary Phonology attempts to derive most if not all synchronic phonological patterns from diachronic changes: “[R]ecurrent synchronic sound patterns are a direct reflection of their diachronic origins, and, more specifically...regular phonetically based sound change is the common source of recurrent sound patterns. Evolutionary Phonology...investigates this hypothesis and explor...

Title Speech - Rate - Variable HMM - Based Japanese TTS System

This paper proposes a new method for controlling phoneme duration according to arbitrary target speech rate in speech synthesis (TTS, text-to-speech) systems. The proposed method first constructs three fundamental duration models at “fast”, “normal”, and “slow” speech rates using Hayashi’s Quantification Theory (Type 1) based on real speech databases and creates a duration model according to a ...
