章节摘录

　　In the synthesized sentence presented in this paper（Figs.3-5），35 of the 43 postulated phonetic units occur.It is composed of over 40 segments of tape，including one segment of silence between the two clauses.The segments are extracted from 42 different context utterances，recorded on magnetic tape.　　The context utterances were constructed so to contain the desired segments the proper sequence of phonetic units in suitable prosodic environ.ments.In recording these context utterances，care was taken to standardize the phonetic quality of the units as well as the prosodic features in which the units Occur.The utterances were recorded onto an Ampex tape recorder at 30 in.／sec.Broad band and narrow band spectrograms were made to determine the position of segmentation to insure proper matching of formants and har.monics between segments.Sometimes the formants matched at one position and the harmonics at another.In such instances，it was necessary to re.record the context utterance，changing the prosodic environment by a small amount each time until proper matching was achieved；attention was given simuhane. ously to preserving the naturalness of the speech dynamics.　　When the context utterances were completed.a visible mark Was made on the tape near each desired segment by means of a magnetized razor blade.　　This mark appears in the spectrogram as a pulse.The limits of the desired segment can then be located on the tape with the visible mark as a reference.　　These segments were spliced together and broad band and naow band spectrograms of the synthesized utterance are shown in Figs.3 and 4.The tenth harmonic on the naow band spectrogram was traced to show the relative Ditch contour.The oscillograms in Fig.5 show the resulting amplitude pattern.
