Examination of prosodic features in speech signal using speech fundamental frequency and loudness duration
Abstract
The most important prosodic parameters and their physical correlations in speech signal were evaluated. Processes for their acquisition, in particular the speech fundamental frequency, were described. Fundamental frequency structures in natural language were examined, using various syllabic forms in stressed and unstressed position. A hierarchic model was developed. The software used for the boundness duration measurement allowed the segmentation of speech signal in time domain. The fundamental frequency and loudness duration correlations were represented for the realization of accentuation structures.
