Towards a linguistic validation of a prosodic generation model

Albert Rilliard, Véronique Aubergé

This paper deals with an approach of prosody evaluation and modelisation, tested together a prosodic model and a prosodic generator, to produce a compared diagnostic of their linguistic competencies. Three evaluation experiments are succinctly described. The first one consists in an online measurement by listeners of the prosodic quality; the second one uses tuned stimuli to test the differences perceived by subjects, and the last one uses delexicalised stimuli to present separately a pure prosodic stimulus and a syntactic stimulus. Their efficiency and disadvantages are analysed along a compared analysis of their results.
