A Framework for Synthesis of Segments Based on Pseudoarticulatory Parameters

Procedures are described for rule-based synthesis of segmental aspects of an utterance using a formant synthesizer controlled by high-level parameters. The rules for synthesis of consonants are described in terms of: (1) the formation and release of consonantal constrictions; and (2) the actions of the secondary articulators of the glottis, the velopharyngeal opening, and active pharyngeal expansion or contraction. Examples of synthesis based in part on these rules are given. Advantages of using high-level parameters for rule-based synthesis are discussed.
