Research
Department of General Linguistics
Vilnius University
Research Activities pursued at the organisation
The main sphere of scientific activities
of the Department is general and Lithuanian phonology and phonetics with
special attention to the dialectal phenomena, because Lithuanian language is
distinguished by great diversity of dialects. Besides that some members of
the Department cooperate with mathematicians and psychologists in the field
of the synthesis of speech; as a result of this cooperation a Lithuanian
speech-synthesizer was constructed, enabling, for example, the blind and
weak-sighted persons to use the computers for their needs. The synthesizer
is based on the so-called concatenative principle (the spoken texts are
generated from the allophones cut out of natural utterances).
