IN TWO-SYLLABLE WORDS WITH LONG RISING ACCENT

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.
