Abstract
This paper describes an automatic detection technique of Korean accentual phrase boundaries by using one-stage DP, and the normalized pitch pattern. For making the normalized pitch pattern, we propose a method of modified normalization for Korean spoken language. The results shows that 76.4% of the accentual phrase boundaries are correctly detected while 14.7% are the false detection rate. Also we can know that accentual phrase detection method by pattern matching shows the more superior detection rate than detection method by LH tone from this result.
