{"Image DocumentName": "Phonetic F0\u2014Microprosody", "Image ImageDescription": "If the strength of accents is controlled semantically, by having equal degrees of focus on words of differing phonetic makeup, it has been observed that high vowels carrying H  accents are uniformly higher in the phonetic pitch range than low vowels with the same kinds of accent. The predictability of F0 under these conditions may relate to the degree of tension placed on laryngeal mechanisms by the raised tongue position in the high vowels as apposed to the low. The distinction between high and low vowels correlates with the position of the tongue in articulation. Apart from experimental prompts in the lab, there is currently no principled way to assign prominence for accent height realization based on utterance content in general TTS.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
