概要

This study examines acoustic characteristics of sad grief speech, produced as a spontaneous dialogue conducted in the laboratory. A set of control speech was collected 5 months later, in which the subject (1) imitated the emotion, intonation and phrasing of the original speech, (2) imitated the intonation and phrasing only, and (3) read the speech. Japanese and English listeners rated the degree of perceived sadness of the speech sounds. Previous studies have reported that sad quiet speech is soft, slow, and low in pitch. The sad grief speech analyzed in this study was soft, short, and the FO was high. Both groups of language listeners showed a significant positive correlation between FO and perception of sadness. English listeners showed a significantly high negative correlation with AQ, and Japanese, a significantly high positive correlation with NAQ.
