Abstract
A device may receive a plurality of speech sounds that are indicative of pronunciations of a first linguistic term. The device may determine concatenation features of the plurality of speech sounds. The concatenation features may be indicative of an acoustic transition between a first speech sound and a second speech sound when the first speech sound and the second speech sound are concatenated. The first speech sound may be included in the plurality of speech sounds and the second speech sound may be indicative of a pronunciation of a second linguistic term. The device may cluster the plurality of speech sounds into one or more clusters based on the concatenation features. The device may provide a representative speech sound of the given cluster as the first speech sound when the first speech sound and the second speech sound are concatenated.
