Abstract

Speech is a vocal communication through which we achieve the information about speaker, language, message etc. Speaking is the process of converting discrete phonemes into continuous acoustic signal. Speech carries linguistic information that is associated with emotions, along with vocal information, which can be extracted by speech processing methods. In this paper, we basically analyse on prosodic features of different emotional speech in Assamese language for identify the comparison between male and female speakers who linguistically react differently in the same situations. We also apply statistical paired t-Test on prosodic features for showing the significant difference between male and female speech in different emotions.
