Analysis of the Roles and the Dynamics of Breathy and Whispery Voice Qualities in Dialogue Speech

Analysis of the Roles and the Dynamics of Breathy and Whispery Voice Qualities in Dialogue Speech

Breathy and whispery voices are nonmodal phonations produced by an air escape through the glottis and may carry important linguistic or paralinguistic information (intentions, attitudes, and emotions), depending on the language. Analyses on spontaneous dialogue speech utterances of several speakers...
