1. A speech synthesis system for controlling a discontinuous distortion occurred at the transition portion between concatenated phonemes which are speech units of a synthesized speech using a smoothing technique, comprising:

  • a discontinuous distortion processing means for predicting a discontinuity occurred at the transition portion between concatenated samples of phonemes used for a speech synthesis through a predetermined learning process, and controlling so that a discontinuity occurred at the transition portion between the concatenated samples of phonemes of the synthesized speech is smoothed adaptively to correspond to a degree of the predicted discontinuity.
