Subject: Re: emotional tone From: Christel de Bruijn <christel(at)LARYNX.SHEF.AC.UK> Date: Mon, 2 Dec 2002 11:39:45 +0000Dear Bill, A few months ago, the LDC released a corpus containing emotional speech (and prosodic transcripts) for the English language. I'm not sure which variant of English, I suspect it might be American English. (I suppose there will be a language dependence issue for emotional prosody). I've attached the release anouncement (advertised on the LINGUIST list). It contains a link to the product on the LDC website.

This five disc publication contains audio recordings and corresponding transcripts designed to support research in emotional prosody. The recordings consist of professional actors reading a series of semantically neutral utterances (dates and numbers) spanning fourteen distinct emotional categories. The Prosody Recordings Project aims to capture the aspects of speech (emotion, intonation) that are lacking in the written form of a message. In these experiments, simple phrases are expressed in ways that reflect varied contexts. The same phrase might be used to answer different questions, address listeners at varying distances from the speaker, or express distinct emotional states. For further information, including a sample transcript and a link to the Prosody Recordings Project, please visit: http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/LDC2002S28.html Institutions that have membership in the LDC during the 2002 Membership Year will be able to receive this corpus free of charge. Nonmembers may purchase this publication for $1500. If you need additional information before placing your order, or would like to inquire about membership in the LDC, please send email to <ldc(at)ldc.upenn.edu> or call (215) 573-1275. - ------------------------------------------------------------------ Linguistic Data Consortium Phone: (215) 573-1275 3615 Market Street Fax: (215) 573-2175 Suite 200 email: ldc(at)unagi.cis.upenn.edu Philadelphia, PA 19104-2608 www: http://www.ldc.upenn.edu --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LINGUIST List: Vol-13-1990
