Affective prosody: Whence motherese

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2004
Motherese is a form of affective prosody injected automatically into speech during caregiving solicitude. Affective prosody is the aspect of language that conveys emotion by changes in tone, rhythm, and emphasis during speech. It is a neocortical function that allows graded, highly varied vocal emotional expression.

Prosody and lexical accuracy in flat affect schizophrenia

Psychiatry Research, 2000
To test the hypothesis that flat affect in schizophrenia involves a motor-expressive deficiency, but not an emotional deficiency, we compared the acoustic properties of speech that are used to express emotion with the emotional content of the words. DSM-III-R schizophrenic patients were divided into flat (N=20) and non-flat affect (N=26) groups on the ...

Repetition of Affective Prosody in Mixed Transcortical Aphasia

Archives of Neurology, 1984
Two patients with mixed transcortical aphasia could repeat propositional speech but not affective prosody. These findings suggest that the intact perisylvian region responsible for propositional speech does not mediate effective prosody. We propose that affective prosody is incorporated into propositional speech by means of an interhemispheric ...

Affective prosody in frontotemporal dementia

Neurology, 2017
“It's not what you said; it's how you said it!” How many times have you said or heard that while interacting with a family member or colleague? It is clear that tone of voice (modulations in pitch, loudness, and rhythm of speech, together called prosody) conveys a great deal of intent and emotion in nearly every exchange.
