[Espeak-general] How eSpeak distinguish space between Chinese characters

[<hgn...@ya...>]

Hi, Jonathan

I am writing phoneme rules for Cantonese. There is one
space(" ") between words of European languages, which
is annotated as "_" in phoneme in eSpeak (is it?).
However, there are no spaces between Chinese
characters. How can I distinguish space between them?

More specifically, I want to make some constants
soundless when they are after vowels or at the end of
the character. For example,

phoneme p
  vls blb stop
  vowelin  f1=0  f2=1000 -50 -100  f3=-200 80 rms=30
  vowelout f1=0  f2=1000 -500 -350  f3=-300 80 rms=22
  lengthmod 2
  wave ustop/p
  before _ NULL // It doesn't work!
endphoneme

Any suggestion? Thank you!

Cameron Wong
