Abstract Hybrid techniques based both on symbolic (phonological) representations and probabilistic information are applied in modelling the form ~ function interface for the prosodic phenomena. The symbolic representation is acoustically oriented and agrees with the principles of intonational phonolog_. On the basis of this representation, two models of tonal segments sequences are calculated according to the paradigm of probabilistic grammars. We test both the bi-grams model end the patterns model and the models' performance is further evaluated with the entropy measure. Finally, the probabilistic models are tested in prediction.
