If you look in gnuspeech/trillium/src/SpeechObject/postMonet/ 
server.monet/parser_module you will find the code that takes english  
text and translates it into what Monet uses.  This does a lot of  
stuff and most of it hasn't been ported.  What has been ported can be  
found in current/Applications/GnuSpeech/TTSParser.[hm].  For the most  
part it just looks up pronunciations in the dictionary.

The rest happens in Monet.  EventList's -parsePhoneString: method  
takes what was produced in the previous step.  It creates tone groups  
and such from the marked up string, and may also apply some hard- 
coded rewrite rules from MMPostureRewriter.

From Monet, it is -[MSynthesisController synthesize] that calls  
parsePhoneString.  Several other methods are called following that to  
calculate the intonation contours.

There is a lot of stuff in there, which can make it hard to find the  
things you are interested in.  I try to write up something to  
describe what's there.
