| Abstract(in English) | In foreign language teaching, corrective feedback to learners' pronunciation is regardedas highly important and automatic feedback generation has been investigated usingspeech technologies. For development, learners' pronunciation diversity or errors have tobe modeled adequately in advance. In this paper, based on a Japanese-English (JE) speechcorpus with detailed phonetic transcription, pronunciation diversity of JE is quantitativelyanalyzed and modeled. In the corpus, read sentences, phonemic sequences that are aimed by learners, and phonetic transcriptions of their speech are contained. Using these, a model is built with a G2P toolkit, phonetisaurus, to predict phonemic sequencesthat will be perceived bynative listeners when they listen to any words pronounced by Japanese learners. Further, their pronunciation diversity is evaluated in terms of perplexity. Similar investigation is possible by using pronunciation alternation rules providedby expert teachers. The proposed model is compared to a model based on experts'rules and it is demonstrated that the former is by far a more compact model. |
