ABSTRACT:
A second phoneme is generated in consideration of a phonemic context with respect to a first phoneme as a search target. Phonemic piece data corresponding to the second phoneme is searched out from a database. A third phoneme is generated by changing the phonemic context on the basis of the search result, and phonemic piece data corresponding to the third phoneme is re-searched out from the database. The search or re-search result is registered in a table in correspondence with the second or third phoneme.
