ABSTRACT:
In a method for grapheme-phoneme conversion of a word which is not contained as a whole in a pronunciation lexicon, the word is firstly decomposed into subwords. The subwords are transcribed and chained. As a result, interfaces are formed between the transcriptions of the subwords. The phonemes at the interfaces must be changed frequently. Consequently, they are subjected to recalculation.
