Abstract
Este artigo introduz um novo método, orientado via modelamento e via interação com dados comportamentais, para gerar padrões prosódicos a partir de informação metalingüística. Referimos aqui à habilidade geral da entoação de demarcar unidades de fala e veicular informação sobre as funções proposicional e interacional dessas unidades no discurso. Nossas hipóteses fortes são que (1) essas funções são diretamente implementadas como contornos prosódicos prototípicos que são co-extensivos às unidades para as quais eles se aplicam, (2) o padrão prosódico da mensagem é obtido ao superpor e adicionar todos os contornos elementares (Aubergé & Bailly, 1995). Descrevemos aqui um esquema de análise por síntese que consiste em identificar esses contornos prototípicos e separar suas contribuições respectivas nos contornos prosódicos dos dados de treinamento. O esquema é aplicado a bases de dados designadas para evidenciar várias funções entoacionais. Resultados experimentais mostram que o modelo gera contornos prosódicos adequados com pouquíssimos movimentos prototípicos.References
