This paper presents a general model for the relation between representations of form and
function for speech prosody on a multilingual basis. It outlines a procedure for analysing …

One of the fundamental aims of prosodic analysis is to provide a reliable means of extracting
functional information (what prosody contributes to meaning) directly from prosodic form (ie …

The way in which prosody contributes to meaning is still, today, a poorly understood process
corresponding to a mapping between two levels of representation, for neither of which there …

This paper describes a method for generating intonation events and prosodic phrasing from
a high level linguistic description. Specifically, the input consists of information normally …

ProSynth uses a hierarchical prosodic structure (implemented in XML) as its core linguistic
representation. To model intonation we map template representations of F0 contours onto …

It is generally agreed today that the single most important advance which is required to
improve the quality and naturalness of synthetic speech is a move towards better …

In recent work [16][1 1] it has been argued that the separation of form and function in the
representation of speech prosody is a highly desirable condition for the analysis of the …

This paper describes a tool designed to allow linguists to manipulate the prosody of an
utterance via a symbolic representation in order to evaluate linguistic models. Prosody is …
