Fundamental frequency and perceived prominence of accented syllables
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1991Perceived prominence differences between accented words have been accounted for in terms of fundamental frequency (F0) variations. In one theory prominence is related to the relative magnitude of F0 changes, and in another theory prominence is related to relative frequencies of F0 maxima.

Modeling Syllable-Based Pronunciation Variation for Accented Mandarin Speech Recognition
2010 20th International Conference on Pattern Recognition, 2010Pronunciation variation is a natural and inevitable phenomenon in an accented Mandarin speech recognition application. In this paper, we integrate knowledge-based and data-driven approaches together for syllable-based pronunciation variation modeling to improve the performance of Mandarin speech recognition system for speakers with Southern accent ...

Summary: In this paper we apply a study of the structure of the English language towards an automatic syllabification algorithm and consequently an automatic foreign accent identification system. Any word consists of syllables which can in turn be divided into its constituents.

Syllable duration and pitch variation to determine accents and stresses for speech recognition
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1999A method and device for speech-to-text conversion. From a given speech, the fundamental tone is extracted. A model of the speech is further created from the speech. In the model, a duration reproduction in words and sentences is obtained. The duration reproduction is compared with a segment duration in the speech.
