Abstract

In 1967, Iván Fónagy and Klára Magdics published figures of hundreds of intonation contours, using musical notation, reflecting a wide range of emotional states and attitudes. The purpose of this study was to examine whether they can be reproduced by means of speech manipulation software. The intonation curves of ten sentences, selected from the book, were reproduced in Praat, after musical notes were converted to fundamental frequency values. A pilot study with five sentences (reflecting apathy, joy, sadness, fright, and mock) was conducted to test whether listeners can decode the emotions and attitudes expressed. Thirty-five students (aged 18-27 years), all native speakers of standard Hungarian, indicated on 5-point scales how intensely they felt the sentences they had heard expressed the emotions (1 = not at all, 5 = very strongly). Each sentence was evaluated by all five emotions, and an extra emotion not included in the test sentences (surprise). In general, the random distribution of scores suggested that listeners were unable to identify the intended emotions, but the sentences were perceived as not conveying other qualities. It is concluded that prosodic features other than intonation are also necessary for recognizing emotions.
