The use of voice quality features in addition to prosodic features is proposed for automatic extraction of paralinguistic information (like speech acts, attitudes and emotions) in dialog speech. Perceptual experiments and acoustic analysis are conducted for monosyllabic utterances spoken in several speaking styles, carrying a variety of paralinguistic information. Acoustic parameters related wi...

Paralinguistic cues are the non-phonemic aspects of human speech that convey information about the affective state of the speaker.

Detecting these events in hours of audio data would be beneficial for clinicians to analyze the social behaviors of children. The chapter focuses on the...

The aim of this paper is twofold: 1) to examine the nature, scope and function o f the paralinguistic features on the basis o f a survey of the previous studies, and 2) to make an attempt to search and exempli fy paralinguistic features operating at vari ous linguistic and non-linguistic units in s everal languages. A special emphasis will be placed on the paralinguistic functions o f phonetic ...
