摘要：
In this paper we will present a contribution to the design of an expressive speech synthesis system for the Arabic language. The system uses diphone concatenation as the synthesis method for the generation of 10 phonetically balanced sentences in Arabic. Rules for the orthographic-to-phonetic transcription are detailed, as well as the methodology employed for recording the diphone database. The sentences were synthesized with both "neutral" and "sadness" expressions and rated by 10 listeners, and the results of the test are provided.
