Abstract
In this paper, we attempt to analyze the intonation of Vietnamese prosody in order to produce a natural Vietnamese synthesizer. We continue to go into the advanced research of the intonation (intensity, altitude and duration). We study the pitch change between words in a phrase, the “swallowing sound” phenomenon at the junction of two words, the simulations of the duration of words in the Vietnamese TTS and the echo problem in processing the change of word’s duration.
