Hi all...

I am working on a front-end parser for a speech synthesis
system.  It needs to parse English text to determine phrasing
for intonation.  I was told that ATNs are the way to go.  Does
anyone have code in C that would help illustrate the technique?
Even better, is there a yacc-alike for generating ATNs from a
grammar?

Any help is muchly appreciated.  Please reply by Email; I will
summarize if there seems to be sufficient interest.
Thanks in advance.
