Infos

​This book addresses the subject of emotional speech, especially its encoding and decoding process during interactive communication, based on an improved version of Brunswik's Lens Model. The process is shown to be influenced by the speaker's and the listener's linguistic and cultural backgrounds, as well as by the transmission channels used. Through both psycholinguistic and phonetic analysis of emotional multimodality data for two typologically different languages, i.e., Chinese and Japanese, the book demonstrates and elucidates the mutual and differing decoding and encoding schemes of emotional speech in Chinese and Japanese.

Professor Aijun Li is the director of Laboratory of Phonetics and Speech Science, Institute of linguistics, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Her academic interests include speech prosody, first and second language acquisition especially on phonetic aspects, emotional and expressive speech analysis. She obtained Bachelor and Master in CS from Tianjin University, Tianjin and Ph.D. from Jaist, Japan.
