Articulatory Characteristics of Expressive Speech in Activation-Evaluation Space

Abstract

In this study, influences of articulatory movement patterns related Activation and Evaluation dimensions of emotions are investigated. Two professional actors are asked to utter five types of emotional speech with three degree. These emotional types were selected by Activation-Evaluation space. Articulatory data and sound waves were collected using the electromagnetic articulatograph (EMA) simultaneously. The results show that the jaw is raised for Joy or Anger, and, lips are tinned for Joy. In addition, tongue dorsum goes to back for joy. These results suggest that the jaw position affects Activation dimension, and lips and/or tongue positions affect Evaluation dimension
