Appendix B. Studies of voice quality based on a discrete structure of emotion<br />

Intensity: the <strong>in</strong>strumentally measurable factor correspond<strong>in</strong>g to the loudness of a sound. Derivable from the amplitude or amount<br />

of <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> air pressure dur<strong>in</strong>g a sound.<br />

F 0 : the fundamental frequency is the lowest frequency <strong>in</strong> a harmonic series, the frequency of repetition of the complex waveform. In<br />

speech, it corresponds to the rate of vocal cord vibration.<br />

Pitch contours (phrase): the pitch contour of the whole phrase can be designed as a ris<strong>in</strong>g, fall<strong>in</strong>g or straight contour. The contours<br />

are parameterised by a gradient.<br />
