Acoustic-phonetic properties of smiling revised: measurements on a natural video corpus

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionAcademicpeer-review

    Abstract

    Smiling while talking can be perceived not only
    visually but also audibly. Several acoustic-phonetic
    properties have been found to cue smiling in the
    acoustic signal. The aim of this study was to validate
    properties associated with smiled speech using a
    natural video corpus. The realisations of
    monophthongs of the same words spoken with and
    without a visible smile were compared. The results
    show a significant increase of intensity (for all
    words), of F2 (for words with the round vowel /o:/)
    and of F0 (for all words except the backchannel
    marker ja) in the smiled condition.
