Rule-based lexical modelling of foreign-accented pronunciation variants
Stefan Schaden · 2003
This paper describes a novel approach to generate potential foreign-accented phonetic transcriptions using phonological rewrite rules. For each pair of a native language (L1) and a target language (L2), a set of postlexical rules is designed to transform canonical phonetic dictionaries of L2 into adapted dictionaries for native L1 speakers. Some general considerations on the design of such a rule-based system are presented.
