Developing Models of Lithuanian Speech Vowels and Semivowels

Lithuanian vowel and semivowel phoneme modelling framework is proposed. Using this framework, the phoneme signal is described as the output of a linear multiple-input and single- output (MISO) system. The MISO system is a parallel connection of single-input and single-output (SISO) systems whose input impulse amplitudes vary in time. Within this framework two synthesis methods are proposed: harmonic and formant. The synthesized sounds obtained by the harmonic synthesis method are compared with those obtained by the formant method. Application of this modelling framework to all of Lithuanian vowel and semivowel synthesis gives naturally sounding result.
