一种软件发音合成器，基于 P. Mermelstein 开发的模型 [J.声学。苏克。是。 53, 1070–1082 (1973)]，已在实验室计算机上实施。该合成器被设计为研究发音事件的语言和感知方面的重要方面的工具。该系统的一个突出特点是，它可以轻松修改一组有限的关键参数，这些参数控制主要咬合架的位置：嘴唇、下颌、舌体、舌尖、软腭和舌骨。通过类似于关键帧动画的简单程序可以对声道形状和鼻耦合进行时变控制：指定关键声道配置以及激励和计时信息。然后，在用户指定的时间脚本内，沿着这些关键帧之间的定向路径进行清晰度。这样的过程允许对咬合架位置和运动进行足够精细的控制。讨论了该系统的组织及其当前和未来的应用。
A software articulatory synthesizer, based upon a model developed by P. Mermelstein [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 53, 1070–1082 (1973)], has been implemented on a laboratory computer. The synthesizer is designed as a tool for studying the linguistically and perceptually significant aspects of articulatory events. A prominent feature of this system is that it easily permits modification of a limited set of key parameters that control the positions of the major articulators: the lips, jaw, tongue body, tongue tip, velum, and hyoid bone. Time‐varying control over vocal‐tract shape and nasal coupling is possible by a straightforward procedure that is similar to key‐frame animation: critical vocal‐tract configurations are specified, along with excitation and timing information. Articulation then proceeds along a directed path between these key frames within the time script specified by the user. Such a procedure permits a sufficiently fine degree of control over articulator positions and movements. The organization of this system and its present and future applications are discussed.
