Abstract

Objective annotation of prosodic phrases in a corpus for a text-to-speech system is an important issue due to its influence on the naturalness of synthesised speech. The paper discusses drawbacks of common ways of prosodic phrase annotation and proposes a concept of prosodic phrases defined by a maximum likelihood estimation over results of many parallel subjective annotations. Validity of this method is analysed in terms of agreement among the subjects using Cohen?s and Fleiss? kappa measures and heuristically modified relative agreement.
