Abstract

This paper presents a system which analyzes an input text syntactically and morphologically and converts the text from the graphemic to the phonetic representation (or vice versa). We describe the grammar formalism used and report a parsing experiment which compared eight parsing strategies within the framework of chart parsing. Although the morphological and syntactic analyzer has been developed for a text-to-speech system for German, it is language independent and general enough to be used for dialog systems, NL-interfaces or speech recognition systems.
