What determines the success of AI voice-cloned speech? Prosodic and acoustic evidence on three TTS systems
Artificial intelligence (AI) voice cloning systems have advanced rapidly, enabling applications in education and assistive technologies. Yet listeners’ perceptual ratings of naturalness and similarity remain inconsistent: some systems approach human-like quality, while others sound noticeably artificial. Here we present a comprehensive prosodic and computational analysis of voice-cloned speech across three voice-cloning systems (ElevenLabs, Style…
Differentiation of emotions in laughter at the behavioral level
Although laughter is important in human social interaction, its role as a communicative signal is poorly understood. Because laughter is expressed in various emotional contexts, the question arises as to whether different emotions are communicated. In the present study, participants had to appraise 4 types of laughter sounds (joy, tickling, taunting, schadenfreude) either by classifying them according to the underlying emotion or by rating them a…
Lateralization of auditory language functions
Brain potentials indicate immediate use of prosodic cues in natural speech processing
Deutsch - Typologisch
Das Deutsche ist vielfältig und gründlich unter kontrastiven Gesichtspunkten untersucht worden, aber es war von germanistischer Seite her bislang kaum Gegenstand typologischer Betrachtung. Daher versucht das Jahrbuch 1995 unter dem Thema "Deutsch – typologisch" eine neue Sicht auf die Grammatik des Deutschen insgesamt zu ermitteln und in repräsentativen Ausschnitten von Syntax, Morphologie, Lexikon über Negation und Pronomina bis zu Phonologie un…
