Abstract
Abstract A phoneme is defined as a set of steady state characteristics, articulatory or acoustic, of a speech sound in a given time slot (segment). The generation of continuous speech from a given string of phonemes in a message is obtained through concatenation processes which are realized in terms of concatenation rules. These rules are used to assign actual values to the concatenation parameters (duration, etc.). The selection of the rules in a given context depends upon the attributes assigned to each of the phonemes. Finally, it is emphasized that it does not matter whether one makes use of articulatory or distinctive feature attributes in the concatenation rules.
