6. Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> While the data used for these experiments was sparse for certain phonemes, many of the phoneme models tested showed improvement when prosody was incorporated directly into the HMM definition.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Analysis of experimental results led to two different proposals for the modeling of consonants and vowels.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> Verifying that the proposed models are indeed an improvement over standard phoneme modeling will be a goal of future work.</Paragraph>
