The present research sets out to give a melodic description of British English intonation which is so explicit that it can be used for the control of pitch in a speech synthesis system. Intonation is studied in accordance with the principles that have been followed with success in the study of Dutch intonation at the Institute for Perception Research. The description is based on a mixture of acoustic and perceptual analysis of speech samples and, using speech resynthesis as a research tool, any claims made are experimentally verified.
