Abstract

This paper introduces our research efforts of prosody control for so-called paralinguistic information embedded in communicative speech. To specify the output prosody, we employ three-dimensional expressions extracted from 26 impressions using Multi-Dimensional Scaling. Based on a series of our previous studies showing the correlations between impressions and prosody characteristics, we propose an exact computational scheme to obtain communicative F0 using impressions given by input lexicons and the F0 pattern of corresponding reading style speech. Experimental trials have confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed calculation scheme for a set of expressions consisting of lexicons forming impressions. Finally, further advanced problems are discussed to apply the proposed scheme to other expressions.
