The stimuli consisted of 28 sequences of two inter-pausal units (IPUs) taken from the Map Task recordings in Hebrew. Listeners were exposed only to the silent pause following the first IPU (hence, Explicit pauses) while the second pause was omitted (hence, Implicit pauses) thus creating a stimulus model of IPU-pause-IPU. Ten female listeners labeled the strength of each break between adjacent words on a scale from 1 (no break) to 5 (strong break). Higher average scores were assigned to the implicit pauses as compared to the explicit ones, however scores for explicit pauses received higher agreement between raters. Moreover, we found only borderline significant influence of the explicit pause duration on the raters' scores. Looking at gender differences, the results suggest that raters' scores were higher when the speakers were females. Further, an interaction was found between the gender of the speaker and the gender of the recipient (i.e., the interlocutor). In particular, female speakers received a higher score overall, and for male speakers the rating was higher when they spoke to males than to females.","PeriodicalId":442842,"journal":{"name":"Speech Prosody 2022","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121425357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It considers the proposition that the cueing of affect relies on variations in voice source parameters (includ-ing f 0 ) that involve both global, uniform shifts across an utterance, and local, within-utterance changes, at prosodically rele-vant points. To test this, a perception test was conducted with stimuli where modifications were made to voice source parameters of a synthesised baseline utterance, to target angry and sad renditions. The baseline utterance was generated with the ABAIR Irish TTS system, for one male and one female voice. The voice parameter manipulations drew on earlier production and perception experiments, and involved three stimulus series: those with global, local and a combination of global and local adjustments. 65 listeners judged the stimuli as one of the fol-lowing: angry, interested, no emotion, relaxed and sad , and in-dicated how strongly any affect was perceived. Results broadly support the initial proposition, in that the most effective signalling of both angry and sad affect tended to involve those stimuli which combined global and local adjustments. However, results for stimuli targeting angry were often judged as interested , in-dicating that the negative valence is not consistently cued by the manipulations in these stimuli.","PeriodicalId":442842,"journal":{"name":"Speech Prosody 2022","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114853924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Receivers register and recognise emotion via both types of prosodic cues. In this study, we examined gender differences in both recognition of type of emotion (e.g. anger vs. joy) and perceived emotionality (e.g. the degree of anger) expressed via speech prosody and visual prosody in a second language (L2). In a perception experiment using film scenes, proficient Dutch learners of English rated the emotionality of each protagonist and identified the specific type of emotion expressed by each protagonist in each scene in both the visual-only and audio-only modality. We have found no evidence for gender-related differences in perceived emotionality, possibly due to potential difficulty of participants in identifying with the protagonists portrayed in a different society. However, the female Dutch learners of English were more accurate in recognising type of emotion than the male Dutch learners of English from both speech prosody and visual prosody. These findings suggest that there is transfer of learners’ ability in recognising type of emotion in the native language to L2 and that female L2 learners may be better at learning cues in speech prosody to emotion in L2.","PeriodicalId":442842,"journal":{"name":"Speech Prosody 2022","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124444798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the syllable position in prosodic structure may affect syllabic prominence and duration. In the present study, we investigated whether the lengthening effect of DAF on syllables could depend on their position in French utterance. We analyzed recordings of several repetitions of three five-syllables French sentences from 10 French speakers under three conditions of DAF (0, 60, 120ms). The results suggest that the duration of syllables is generally longer when DAF is present, and it increases with the increasing DAF level. Accented vowels are more lengthened by DAF in relation to nonaccented vowels in the same accentual group. Final sentence vowels, which bear the nuclear pitch accent and may be additionally affected by final lengthening, could even be more lengthened by DAF. Given that the extent of lengthening effect is not correlated with the original syllabic duration, we assume that the greater lengthening effect on accented vowels could not be due to the longer duration of these vowels in general. Overall, our results suggest that speakers’ responses to DAF depend on the syllabic status in the prosodic hierarchy.","PeriodicalId":442842,"journal":{"name":"Speech Prosody 2022","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125454004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sluijter and Van Heuven (1996) reported that spectral tilt is a more reliable cue to stress than intensity. However, that study included only a small number of talkers (10) and only syllables with the vowels /a ː / and / ɔ /. The present study re-examined this issue in a larger and more variable dataset. We recorded 38 native speakers of Dutch (20 females) producing 744 tokens of Dutch segmentally overlapping words (e.g., VOORnaam vs. voorNAAM, “first name” vs. “respectable”), targeting 10 different vowels, in variable sentence contexts. For each syllable, we measured overall intensity and spectral tilt following Sluijter and Van Heuven (1996). Results from Linear Discriminant Analyses showed that, for the vowel /a ː / alone, spectral tilt showed an advantage over intensity, as evidenced by higher stressed/unstressed syllable classification accuracy scores for spectral tilt. However, when all vowels were included in the analysis, the advantage disappeared. These findings confirm that spectral tilt plays a larger role in signaling stress in Dutch /a ː / but show that, for a larger sample of Dutch vowels, overall intensity and spectral tilt are equally important.","PeriodicalId":442842,"journal":{"name":"Speech Prosody 2022","volume":"45 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131771021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research is based on the SibLing speech corpus where ﬁve degrees of social distance between the interlocutors are presented: there are dialogues between same-gender siblings, same-gender friends, same-gender and opposite-gender strangers, strangers of different age and social status. Each pair of interlocutors played a card-matching game and performed a classical map task. The factor of conversational role revealed a signiﬁcant inﬂuence on all the analysed speech features: pitch, intensity, and speech tempo. Gender was not found to inﬂuence speech tempo, unlike pitch and loudness. Social distance was shown to play a signiﬁcant role for speech tempo (e.g., it tends to be lower in dialogues with strangers of different age and social sta-tus), and also, in interaction with other factors, for pitch and loudness. There was also a signiﬁcant inﬂuence of the type of task: card-matching game vs. map task.","PeriodicalId":442842,"journal":{"name":"Speech Prosody 2022","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130795676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
