An Exploratory Study on the Acoustic Musical Properties to Decrease Self-Perceived Anxiety
Musical listening is broadly used as an inexpensive and safe method to reduce self-perceived anxiety. This strategy is based on the emotivist assumption claiming that emotions are not only recognised in music but induced by it. Yet, the acoustic properties of musical work capable of reducing anxiety are still under-researched. To fill this gap, we explore whether the acoustic parameters relevant in music emotion recognition are also suitable to i…
The effect of music in anxiety reduction
Extensive research has been published on the effects of music in reducing anxiety. Yet, for most of the existing works, a common methodology regarding musical genres and measurement techniques is missing, which limits considerably the comparison between them. In this study, we assess, for the first time, markedly different musical genres with both psychological and physiological measurements. Three previously studied musical samples from differen…
Prosody in Automatic Speech Processing
Automatic speech processing (ASP) is understood as covering word recognition, the processing of higher linguistic components (syntax, semantics, and pragmatics), and the processing of computational paralinguistics (CP), which deals with speaker states and traits. This chapter attempts to track the role of prosody in ASP from the word level up to CP. A short history of the field from 1980 to 2020 distinguishes the early years (until 2000)—when the…
The Interspeech 2019 Computational Paralinguistics Challenge
The INTERSPEECH 2019 Computational Paralinguistics Challenge addresses four different problems for the first time in a research competition under well-defined conditions: In the Styrian Dialects Sub-Challenge, three types of Austrian-German dialects have to be classified; in the Continuous Sleepiness Sub-Challenge, the sleepiness of a speaker has to be assessed as regression problem; in the Baby Sound Sub-Challenge, five types of infant sounds ha…

Deciding upon the Relevancy of Intonational Features for the Marking of Focus
We present results on how focus is marked intonationally in German. Six untrained speakers produced a corpus of 360 sentences. The corpus was constructed in such a way that sentence modality and place of focus could only be differentiated by intonational means. Acoustic features representing the parameters pitch, duration, and intensity were extracted manually or automatically. The relevancy of these features and the effect of several transformat…

The comprehension of grammatical and natural gender
This study examines the semantic interpretation of man and its anaphoric pronoun he and of their equivalents in German, Danish, and Swedish within a cross-linguistic experimental design.These languages differ systematically in respect of the features that define the grammatical and natural gender of these items.The hypothesis that the items are more or less pseudogeneric to the same extent that their features are more or less sex-marking could be…
