  • Abstract
    This paper describes the command-response model for FO contour generation originally developed for common Japanese, and demonstrates its capability of generating FO contours of various other languages with minor language-specific modifications. The model is especially useful in multilingual speech synthesis, since the same mechanism can be driven by language-specific patterns of input commands to produce FO contours of utterances of the respective languages
