| Abstract(in English) | In order to examine the validity of the findings on the dialogue rhythm which we previously pointed out, we made some dialogue samples with various rhythm/utterance timing and evaluated them subjectively from the view points of naturalness of whole the dialogues, unnaturalness of synthesized speech, and intelligibility of the dialogues. We used short task-oriented four-turns dialogues using speech synthesizer in Experiment No. 1, and approx. one-minute chat-like dialogues in No. 2 using natural human utterances and synthesized voices. The results of these experiments supported our previous analysis that the utterance timing is important for natural dialogue and the timing of each utterance mainly depends on the contents of the utterance. |
