Abstract. Fundamental frequency change in two-syllable words with long rising accent is investigated in this paper. Experimental results show that long rising accent is realized in similar way by all speakers. Fundamental frequency in stressed vowel rises during the whole vowel till the end, where it has peak, or near the end, where after peak it has slight fall. Beginning f0 value in unstressed vowel is close to ending value of preceding syllable. Peach starts with peak, or rises very little in the beginning, before reaches the peak, and then falls till the end of the vowel. According to average results for four male speakers proposition for f0 change which should be included in speech synthesis programme is given.

PROMENA OSNOVNE FREKVENCIJE
U DVOSLOŽNIM REČIMA SA DUGOUZLAZNIM AKCENTOM
U radu se analizira promena osnovne frekvencije u dvosložnim rečima sa dugouzlaznim akcentom. Rezultati eksperimenta pokazuju da se kod svih ispitanika dugouzlazni akcenat realizuje na sličan način. Na osnovu prosečnih rezultata za četiri muška govornika daje se predlog promene osnovne frekvencije u ovim rečima koju treba ugraditi u uređaje za sintezu govora pomoću računara.
