Abstract
A method for splitting a digital signal using prosodic features included in the signal is provided that includes calculating onset value locations in the signal. The onset values correspond to stress accents in the signal. Moreover, the method includes splitting, using a processor, the signal into a prosodic unit candidate sequence by superimposing the stress accent locations on the signal, and processing the sequence to include only true prosodic units.
