In this paper, the multiplicative syllable duration model proposed previously for Mandarin speech is extended in some aspects. First, the three basic Tone 3 patt erns (i.e., full lone, half lone and sandhi tone) are properly considered via using three different companding factors (CFs) to separate their affections. Second, the CPs of the model are analyzed in detail. Third, the syllable duration modeling method is applied 10 an automatically-segmented, SOO-speaker, telephone-speech database. Fourth, a comparative study 10 paraUelly construct an add itive syllable duration model is done.
