....above is very far from such applications at this stage, there exists the potential to tune speech synthesisers to particular languages in a linguistically principled and robust way. Indeed, our approach to modelling language or dialect similarity mirrors the work of Nerbonne et al. e.g. Nerbonne and Heeringa (1997), Nerbonne et al. 1996) modelling dialect dissimilarity. Their work could be viewed as taking the phonological correspondences that we model, measuring the distance between the realisations of the metaphonemes in order to determine the distance between different dialects. Another potential ....

....between two feature vectors. The cost of indels is set at one quarter of the maximum possible substitution cost. Because the surface forms are generated directly from the underlying forms by the application of a few simple phonological rules, the alignment algorithm need not be sophisticated. Nerbonne and Heeringa (1996; 1997; 2000) investigate the problem of measuring phonetic distance between dialects. The distance between two dialects is estimated by taking the sum of Levenshtein distances between two sets of corresponding words. They experimented with at least two different feature systems, but they don t provide ....

....to one another than other symbols. In the domain of aligning phonetic transcriptions, this would mean that perceptually small differences, such as 2and2 s , would be considered just as erroneous as large differences such as 2and2 k F22Gildea and Jurafsky (1996) Riley and Ljolje (1996) and Nerbonne and Heeringa (1997) all discuss cost functions that take the features of the phones to be aligned into account. The fewer differences in features between two symbols, the lower the cost of their substitution. In the case of the alignment of lexical and postlexical phones, two distinct alphabets are being used. The ....

....contribute to phonetic distance, identical ones do not. Thus the pair [a,p] counts as different to the same degree as [b,p] In more sensitive versions phones are compared on the basis of their feature values, so the pair [a,p] counts as much more different than [b,p] Nerbonne et al. 1996) and (Nerbonne and Heeringa 1997) contain details explaining the application of Levenshtein distance to dialect data. For calculating the distance between two dialects 100 Levenshtein distances are determined one difference per word. If we simply use the Levenshtein distance, it tends to bias measurements so that changes in ....
