Abstract(in English) When we extract features of prosodic pattern, the difference in F_0 range of speakers and utterances makes stable feature extraction difficult. We process F_0 value to extract representative point for each syllable duration and the convert to relative F_0 for each utterance. We analize F_0 range and F_0 change in utterances of five males and three females of spontaneous speech data, and make models of the featuers of F_0 movement, based on the result. Phrase boundaries are detected by three models consist of F_0 flat rule, F_0 emphasis rule, F_0 rising rule. Althouth there is one syllable shift caused by characteristic of this method, this approach is promising to good accuracy.
