SIMULEKT : modelling Swedish regional intonation

• This paper introduces a new research project Simulating Intonational Varieties of Swedish (SIMULEKT). The basic goal of the project is to produce more precise and thorough knowledge about some major intonational varieties of Swedish. In this research effort the Swedish prosody model plays a prominent role. A fundamental idea is to take advantage of speech synthesis in different forms. In our analysis and synthesis work we will focus on some major intonational types: South, Göta, Svea, Gotland, Dala, North, and Finland Swedish. The significance of our project work will be within basic research as well as in speech technology applications.
