A linguistically motivated approach to grapheme-to-phoneme conversion for Korean

This paper describes a hand-written rule-based grapheme-to-phoneme (GTP) conversion system for Korean built within the Festival text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis framework. The core of the GTP conversion system is a simple implementation of nine linguistically motivated morphophonological rules. These rules, which are well known to students of Korean linguistics, were implemented in Festival rewrite formal
