Abstract
A synthesis-by-rule program can be thought of as a functional model of human sentence production. The phonological component of this model accepts as input a linear string of symbols that have been produced by the semantics component, syntactic component, and lexical component of a grammar of English. This abstract representation of an utterance is transformed by the phonological component into a phonetic transcription and a specification of the fundamental frequency contour, segmental durations, and stress levels. This paper will discuss the structure and detailed representation of information in a computer simulation of a phonological component and propose a programming language for stating phonological rules.
