Summary:The article discusses differences between a priori and a posteriori phrasing and their importance in the task of automatic prosodic phrasing in text-to-speech systems.

The paper also proposes and evaluates a method for a priori phrasing based on template matching of quasi-syntactical representations of sentences. Adapted from the source document
