Rd as a control parameter to explore affective correlates of the tense-lax continuum
(2017)This study uses the Rd glottal waveshape parameter to simulate the phonatory tense-lax continuum and to explore its affective correlates in terms of activation and valence. Based on a natural utterance which was inverse ... -
Representing and Computing Uncertainty in Phonological Reconstruction
(2023)Despite the inherently fuzzy nature of recon- structions in historical linguistics, most schol- ars do not represent their uncertainty when proposing proto-forms. With the increasing success of recently proposed approaches ... -
Reshaping the transformed LF model: generating the glottal source from the waveshape parameter Rd
(2017)Precise specification of the voice source would facilitate better modelling of expressive nuances in human spoken interaction. This paper focuses on the transformed version of the widely used LF voice source model, and ... -
An Sc?ala?: autonomous learners harnessing speech and language technologies
(ISCA, 2019)This paper presents an autonomous language learning platform which has speech and language technology at its core. An Scealaí ('the Storyteller') is a web-based interactive iCALL system that allows learners to compose ... -
Sign Languages
(Council of Europe and European Centre for Modern Languages (ECML), 2019)In 2018, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe passed a resolution on Sign Languages (Resolution 2247). This recognises the thirty plus indigenous sign languages of Europe as natural languages but also ... -

The SIGTYP 2022 Shared Task on the Prediction of Cognate Reflexes
(2022)This study describes the structure and the results of the SIGTYP 2022 shared task on the prediction of cognate reflexes from multilingual wordlists. We asked participants to submit systems that would predict words in ... -
Time- and amplitude-based voice source correlates of emotional portrayals
(Springer, 2007)A detailed analysis of glottal source parameters is presented for emotional portrayals which included both low and high activation states: neutral, bored, sad, and happy, surprised, angry. Time- and amplitude-based glottal ... -
Universal and language-specific perception of affect from voice
(2011)This paper outlines the general results of a cross-language study of perception of affect from voice. The study aims to clarify how variations in voice quality (in synthesized stimuli) can evoke different affective coloring ... -
Voice quality and f0 cues for affect expression: implications for synthesis
(2005)Synthesised stimuli were used to investigate how two notionally separable dimensions of tone-of-voice ? voice quality and fundamental frequency ? are involved in the expression of affect. Listeners were presented with ... -
Voice quality in affect cueing: does loudness matter?
(2013)In emotional speech research, it has been suggested that loudness, along with other prosodic features, may be an important cue in communicating high activation affects. In earlier studies, we found different voice quality ... -
Voice source dynamics in intonation
(2011)A qualitative analysis of voice source dynamics is presented for utterances varying in focal place- ment, with falling (F) and rising (R) pitch. Source parameters, F0, EE, UP, RG, OQ and RD were obtained by manual ... -
Voice-to-affect mapping: Inferences on language voice baseline settings
(2017)Modulations of the voice convey affect, and the precise mapping of voice-to-affect may vary for different languages. However, affect-related modulations occur relative to the baseline affect-neutral voice, which tends to ...
