| Abstract: | Acoustic, articulatory, and perceptual analyses of spontaneous laughing, smiling, and crying speech were done in comparison with neutral speech. Listeners were asked to rate the emotional intensity and identify the emotion as happy, sad, or neutral (or other/unknown) of auditorily presented (a) phrases and (b) single words. The results show acoustic, articulatory and perceptual similarities for laughing, smiling and crying speech; smiling speech was sometimes judged as sad. Utterances rated as emotionally intense (whether laughing, smiling, or crying speech) are characterized by high F0, high F2 and low H2 (dB) (especially for happy), and tended to be produced with raised/retracted upper lip, and lowered tongue dorsum. Possible reasons for the phonetic similarities in such divergent types of emotional expressions, e.g., laughing, smiling and crying, are discussed. Also, discussed are possible reasons why phonetic characteristics of speech intended by the speaker to be emotional are different from those perceived by listeners. |
