1. A method comprising:
- recognizing phonemes from a user input using a current phonotactic model stored in a database, to yield recognized phonemes;
creating, via a processor, a new phonotactic model by transforming, using morphemes detected from the recognized phonemes, a prior probability distribution associated with a first domain to a prior probability distribution associated with a second domain; and
replacing the current phonotactic model with the new phonotactic model in the database.

Abstract
The invention concerns a method and corresponding system for building a phonotactic mode for domain independent speech recognition. The method may include recognizing phones from a user'"'"'s input communication using a current phonotactic model, detecting morphemes (acoustic and/or non-acoustic) from the recognized phones, and outputting the detected morphemes for processing. The method also updates the phonotactic model with the detected morphemes and stores the new model in a database for use by the system during the next user interaction. The method may also include making task-type classification decisions based on the detected morphemes from the user'"'"'s input communication.
