PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate a prosody pattern which has high naturalness and is stable. SOLUTION: A prosody generation device which generates a prosody from a language analysis result and a clause string obtained by applying a linguistic analysis to an input document includes: a rule model prosody generating means of generating a regular prosody pattern from the clause string; a similar clause extracting means of extracting a candidate for a similar clause string from a database where prosody patterns of natural utterance and their linguistic analysis results are prestored and setting the similarity of the extracted similar clause string on the basis of the prosody pattern obtained by the rule model prosody generating means and the language analysis result; and a prosody pattern combining means of combining prosody patterns on the basis of the candidate for the similar clause string obtained by the similar clause extracting means and the prosody pattern obtained by the rule model prosody generating means.
