Right Hemisphere Regions Critical for Expression of Emotion Through Prosody
Frontiers in Neurology, 2018 Impaired expression of emotion through pitch, loudness, rate, and rhythm of speech (affective prosody) is common and disabling after right hemisphere (RH) stroke. These deficits impede all social interactions.

The primacy of categories in the recognition of 12 emotions in speech prosody across two cultures
Nature Human Behaviour, 2019 Central to emotion science is the degree to which categories, such as Awe, or broader affective features, such as Valence, underlie the recognition of emotional expression.

Domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) recognise meaningful content in monotonous streams of read speech [PDF]
Animal CognitionDomestic dogs (Canis familiaris) can recognize basic phonemic information from human speech and respond to commands. Commands are typically presented in isolation with exaggerated prosody known as dog-directed speech (DDS) register.

Elucidating White Matter Contributions to the Cognitive Architecture of Affective Prosody Recognition: Evidence from Right Hemisphere Stroke [PDF]
Brain SciencesBackground/Objectives: Successful discourse relies not only on linguistic but also on prosodic information. Difficulty recognizing emotion conveyed through prosody (receptive affective aprosodia) following right hemisphere stroke (RHS) significantly ...

Text-Free Prosody-Aware Generative Spoken Language Modeling [PDF]
Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics, 2021 Speech pre-training has primarily demonstrated efficacy on classification tasks, while its capability of generating novel speech, similar to how GPT-2 can generate coherent paragraphs, has barely been explored. Generative Spoken Language Modeling (GSLM) (

On the Utility of Self-Supervised Models for Prosody-Related Tasks [PDF]
Spoken Language Technology Workshop, 2022 Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) from speech data has produced models that have achieved remarkable performance in many tasks, and that are known to implicitly represent many aspects of information latently present in speech signals.

A New Approach to the Persian Prosodies based on Music Tetrachords [PDF]
Literary Arts, 2021 There is no doubt that the quantitative meter is the essence of music and prosodies, providing the link between poetry and music. In addition to the time priority that music has over prosodies, the similarity between these elements makes it apparent that

Prosospeech: Enhancing Prosody with Quantized Vector Pre-Training in Text-To-Speech [PDF]
IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2022 Expressive text-to-speech (TTS) has become a hot research topic recently, mainly focusing on modeling prosody in speech. Prosody modeling has several challenges: 1) the extracted pitch used in previous prosody modeling works have inevitable errors, which

Emotional prosody perception and production are linked in prelingually deaf children with cochlear implantsa) [PDF]
JASA Express Letters, 2023 Links between perception and production of emotional prosody by children with cochlear implants (CIs) have not been extensively explored. In this study, production and perception of emotional prosody were measured in 20 prelingually deaf school-age ...
