چکیده
This paper presents details and progress of the JST/CREST ESP Project, part of the “Information Technology for Life in an Advanced Media Society” series of research projects. The purpose of the research is to determine the acoustic variables that indicate different attitudes and emotions in speech and to map these to linguistic objects and frameworks so that a model of the paralinguistic structure and content of an utterance can be obtained. The project has now been running for 6 months, and is expected to last for 5 years.
