The goal of this research was to examine how speakers of different languages and cultures produce emotional speech. The languages examined were American English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Russian. A technique was developed to collect articulatory data while the speakers were experiencing emotions. One of the findings was that sad crying speech and happy speech are produced by similar changes in jaw, lip and tongue positions and characterized by high voice pitch, and increased breathiness.
