Analysis of voice fundamental frequency contours for declarative sentences of Japanese

H. Fujisaki, K. Hirose
Computer Science
1 October 1984

A model for the generation of fundamental frequency contours (F0 contours) of spoken, sentences is presented for the purpose of elucidating the relationship between the sentence F0 contour and the linguistic and non-linguistic information. Expand
