In this paper we shall present an experiment which tries to automise the acquisition of prosodic knowledge by using a database. This base was compiled by analysing a corpus read by two speakers which was subsequently segmented and labelled by experts. Once the data was structured and the prosodic facts divided into a certain number of classes, a symbolic learning process was implemented on these sets. This enabled us to obtain rules which were logically expressed as regards the duration and the melody.
