Smiles and frowns in speech - 1 Running Head: SMILES AND FROWNS IN SPEECH Audible smiles and frowns affect speech comprehension

چکیده
Motor resonance processes are involved both in language comprehension and in affect perception. Therefore we predict that listeners understand spoken affective words slower, if the phonetic form of a word is incongruent with its affective meaning. A language comprehension study involving an interference paradigm confirmed this prediction. This interference suggests that affective phonetic cues contribute to language comprehension. A perceived smile or frown affects the listener, and hearing an incongruent smile or frown impedes our comprehension of spoken words.

Smiles and frowns in migration/velocity analysis
Reliable seismic depth migrations require an accurate input velocity model. Inaccurate velocity estimates will distort point diffractors into smiles or frowns on a depth section. For both poststack and prestack migrated sections, high velocities cause deep smiles while low velocities cause shallow frowns on migrated gathers. However, for prestack images in the offset domain, high velocities cau...
متن کاملThe temporal coordination of early infant communication.
The ability to coordinate expressive behaviors is crucial to the development of social and emotional communication. Coordination involves systematic sequencing of behaviors from two different modalities that have some temporal overlap. A bootstrapping procedure was used to determine whether preverbal 3- and 6-month-old infants sequence vocalizations, gazes at their mothers' faces, and facial ex...

متن کاملDo You Smile with Your Nose? Stylistic Variation in Twitter Emoticons
On the surface, emoticons seem to convey emotional stances, so we expect smiles and frowns to be used differently from one another. But there are other systematic patterns of variation in emoticons that are not easily described by terms like “friendly” or “sad”. This paper analyzes the 28 most frequent emoticons in use in American English tweets. People vary in their use of eyes, mouth shape, f...
متن کاملTone-affect compatibility with affective stimuli and affective responses.
Three experiments examine multimodal integration of tone pitch (high/low), facial expression stimuli (happy/angry), and responses (happy/angry) in a compatibility paradigm. When the participants' task is to imitate facial expressions (Experiment 1), smiles are facilitated by high tones whereas frowns are facilitated by low tones. Experiments 2 and 3 further analyse this effect and show that the...
