Abstract
This study examines acoustic and articulatory EMA data of two female speakers(American and Japanese) spontaneously producing emotional speech whileengaged in an informal telephone-type conversation. A set of control data inwhich the speakers imitated or read the original emotional utterance was alsorecorded; for the American speaker, the intonation pattern was also imitated. Theresults suggest (1) acoustic and articulatory characteristics of spontaneous sadspeech differ from that of read speech or imitated intonation speech, (2) spontaneoussad speech and imitated sad speech seem to have similar acoustic characteristics(high F0, changed F1 as well as voice quality), but articulation is different interms of lip, jaw and tongue positions, and (3) speech that is rated highly by listenersas sad is associated with high F0 and changed voice quality.
