Results </SectionTitle> <Paragraph position="0"> The IBIS system produces distinct intonational differences in minimal pairs of queries like those in examples (10)-(13) below. These minimal pairs illustrate the system's capability for producing appropriately different intonation contours for a single string of words under the control of discourse context.

Although the pitch accent locations in the responses in these examples are identical, occurring on lacerations and bleeding, the alternation in the theme and theme tunes is necessary to convey the intended propositions in the given contexts. Examples (12) and (13) show that the system makes appropriate distinctions in focus placement within themes and themes based on context. More complex examples, like those shown in (14)-(16), illustrate the usefulness of the contrastive stress algorithm for assigning pitch accents in appropriate locations. 5</Paragraph> </Section> class="xml-element"></Paper>
