Abstract

We describe a statistical method for assignment of prosodic phrases and semantic accents in read speech data. The method is based on statistical evaluation of listening test data by a maximum-likelihood approach with parameters estimated by an EM algorithm. We also present linguistically relevant quantitative results about the prosodic phrase and semantic accent distribution in 250 Czech sentences.
