Emotions and articulatory precision
نویسندگان
چکیده
The influence of emotion on articulatory precision was investigated in a newly established corpus of acted emotional utterances. The area of the vocalic triangle between the vowels /i/, /u/, and /a/ was measured and shown to be significantly affected by emotion. Furthermore, this area correlated significantly with the potency dimension of a large scale study of emotion words, reflecting the predictions of the component process model of emotion.

Manipulation of the prosodic features of vocal tract length, nasality and articulatory precision using articulatory synthesis
Vocal emotions, as well as different speaking styles and speaker traits are characterized by a complex interplay of multiple prosodic features. Natural sounding speech synthesis with the ability to control such paralinguistic aspects requires the manipulation of the corresponding prosodic features. With traditional concatenative speech synthesis it is easy to manipulate the “primary” prosodic f...
متن کاملA study of interplay between articulatory movement and prosodic characteristics in emotional speech production
This paper investigates the interplay between articulatory movement and voice source activity as a function of emotions in speech production. Our hypothesis is that humans use different modulation methods in which articulatory movements and prosodic modulations are differently weighted across different emotions. This hypothesis was examined by joint analysis of the two domains, using two statis...
متن کاملRelation between geometry and kinematics of articulatory trajectory associated with emotional speech production
We investigate whether articulatory movement trajectories follow the nonlinear invariant relationship between the tangential velocity and the curvature, i.e. the one-third power law. The power law holds for articulatory trajectories of phonetic rendering, although the exponent is in the range 0.35–0.42 when averaged across speakers and emotions but is relatively invariant under speaker/emotion ...
متن کاملCompact representations of the articulatory-to-acoustic mapping
Articulatory codebooks are very often used to represent the articulatory-to-acoustic mapping. They thus need to be compact while offering a very good acoustic precision. This paper presents a method of articulatory codebook construction more general than that of Ouni [1] in the sense that the articulatoryto-acoustic mapping is approximated by multivariable polynomials. The second major contribu...
متن کاملModifications of Speech Articulatory Characteristics in the Emotive Speech
The aim of the research is the phonetic articulatory description of emotive speech achievable studying the labial movements, which are the product of the compliance with both the phonetic-phonological constraints and the lip configuration required for the visual encoding of emotions. In this research we analyse the interaction between labial configurations, peculiar to six emotions (anger, disg...
