| Abstract | Nunes, Ana Margarida, Coimbra, Rosa Lídia, An acoustic analysis was conducted to investigate voice quality related parameters in European Portuguese (EP) emotional speech. Our main objectives were to obtain, to our knowledge for the first time, values for the parameters commonly contemplated in acoustic analyses of emotional speech; to compare the obtained values with the ones reported for other languages, in order to determine which follow general tendencies and which are characteristic of the EP language. A small corpus contemplating five emotions (joy, sadness, despair, fear, anger) and neutral speech produced by a professional actor was used. Investigated parameters include fundamental frequency, jitter, shimmer, Harmonic Noise Ratio and autocorrelation. In general, results were in accordance with the consulted literature regarding F0 and HNR. For jitter and shimmer our results were, in certain aspects, similar to the ones reported in a study of emotional speech for another Latin language, Spanish. From our analyses, and taking into consideration the reduced size of our corpus and the use of an actor as informant, no clear EP characteristic emerged, except for a possible, needing confirmation, difference regarding joy, with values similar to neutral speech. |
