Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) We examined whether information that notified of the boundary of accentual phrase beforehand was included in F0. In the previous research, the result indicates that the boundary of accentual phrase can be distinguished from prosody by the cognitive experiment that makes meaningless voices that imitate meaning voices used. We assumed that the boundary of accentual phrase was able not only to be distinguished but also to be notified of beforehand by prosody that enables us to do smooth conversations in real time. So we focused on F0 and whether information that notified of the boundary of accentual phrase beforehand was included in F0 was examined. Concretely, parameters of F0 model and an accentual phrase length were assumed to be explanatory variables and a response variable respectively, and the regression analysis was done. Consequently, it was possible to notify of the number of accentual phrase morae beforehand by the accuracy of about 60%.
