The paper deals with the problem of choosing and optimizing the inventories of speech segments (especially with respect to the concatenative speech synthesis). We offer taxonomy of the segment databases based on elementary properties of the segments in relation to a basic speech corpus. Next, we deal with a general abstract formulation of the problem and briefly discuss its algorithmic solution and applications.
