Modeling the Production of Prosody

Mary E. Beckman

Department of Linguistics, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH , USA

This tutorial reviews some of the insights gained from fifteen years of research on the production of prosodic categories, concentrating primarily on modeling fundamental frequency patterns as reflections of intonation and phrasing. It closes with a hint of some at the directions in which this work is being extended to understanding the function of prosody in discourse and to the modeling of other phonetic dimensions.
