It is shown that within-speaker variations in vocal effort and phonation affect fundamental frequency (F0) and the formant frequencies of vowels in the sense of a linear compression/expansion of the spectral separations between them, given an adequate scaling of pitch. Between-speaker variations in size correspond to a translation of the spectral peaks shaped by F0 and the formants if pitch is ...

This study analyzes two spectral properties in vowel segments, H1-H2 (related to glottal opening) and H1-A3 (related to the speed of vocal fold closing gesture) in an attempt to infer the voice quality variation associated with different types of paralinguistic information (PI) types. Results suggest that both glottal opening and closing speed of the glottis differ significantly depending on PI...

Prosodic prominence is an umbrella term encompassing various related but conceptually and functionally different phenomena such as phonological stress, paralinguistic emphasis, lexical, syntactic, semantic or pragmatic salience, to mention a few. Due to the high interest prominence has received from various disciplines, it has been studied from multiple perspectives (functional, physical, cogni...

In this paper, we report our experience in using off-the-shelf software and hardware to build embodied conversational agents in immersive environments. Our underlying research focuses on paralinguistic factors in building rapport between humans and ECAs, and conducting this research requires ECAs that can (a) produce sophisticated full-body animation and (b) interact with humans across multiple...

This paper provides a detailed analysis of the intonational form and function of five boundary pitch movements (BPMs) in Tokyo Japanese. The perception study describes the linguistic and paralinguistic dimensions on which meanings of the BPMs are distinguished. The production study details how the F0 heights, durations, and (crucially) alignment of the F0 contour with the segments are all used ...

A data-driven method based on a new paradigm is introduced in this paper. We assume that cognitive representations of the discourse are prosodically encoded by means of global multiparametric prototypes. The generation of adequate prosodic contours is then obtained by retrieving and combining these elementary prototypic contours accessed by linguistic or paralinguistic keys. We examine here F0 ...

We describe the different linguistic and paralinguistic functions of prosody, show how features can be computed that describe the prosodic marking of these functions, and how this knowledge can be used in an automatic speech understanding system. This is done in the context of the speech–to–speech translation system Verbmobil, where prosody is used to segment the user utterance and to find self...

A multitude of factors contribute to why and how romantic relationships are formed as well as whether they ultimately succeed or fail. Drawing on evolutionary models of attraction and speech production as well as integrative models of relationship functioning, this review argues that paralinguistic cues (more specifically the fundamental frequency of the voice) that are initially a strong sourc...

Paralinguistic properties play a more and more decisive role in recent speech processing systems like automatic speech recognition (ASR) or natural text-to-speech systems (TTS). Besides the linguistic information, the so called paralinguistic properties can help solving ambiguities in man-machine-interaction. Nowadays, such man-machine-interfaces can be found for example in call-centers, in dri...
