Description

Expression in Speech Analysis and Synthesis explores how expression is produced and understood in speech. The authors examine the potential of biological and cognitive models to explain the production and perception of emotive content.

The book reviews the features that make up the speech production and perception systems, studied by biologists, psychologists, and linguists, and assesses how far these models generate hypotheses that provide insights into expressive speech. Recent techniques in speech synthesis and automatic speech recognition are used as a test bed for models of expression.

This book will be of central interest to researchers in linguistics and speech science, pathology, and technology, offering valuable insights into the nature of expressive speech and its underlying mechanisms.
