          Abstract

          ABSTRACT This study was conducted to investigate whether the listeners' culture and mother language influence the perception of emotions through speech and which acoustic cues listeners use in this process. Swedish and Brazilian listeners were presented with authentic emotional speech samples of Brazilian Portuguese and Swedish. They judged on 5-point Likert scales the expression of basic emotions as described by eight adjectives in the utterances in Brazilian Portuguese and the expression of five emotional dimensions in the utterances in Swedish. The PCA technique revealed that two components explain more than 94% of the variance of the judges' responses in both experiments. These components were predicted through multiple linear regressions from twelve acoustic parameters automatically computed from the utterances. The results point to a similar perception of the emotions between both cultures.

          RESUMO Este estudo foi conduzido para investigar se a cultura e a língua materna dos ouvintes influenciam a percepção das emoções na fala e quais pistas acústicas os ouvintes utilizam nesse processo. Trechos de fala de emoções autênticas em português brasileiro e em sueco foram apresentados a sujeitos brasileiros e suecos. Os sujeitos avaliaram, em escalas de 5 pontos, o grau de expressão de emoções básicas descritas por oito adjetivos nos enunciados em português brasileiro e o grau de expressão de cinco dimensões emocionais nos enunciados em sueco. A técnica de PCA revelou que dois componentes explicam mais do que 94% da variância das respostas dos juízes nos dois experimentos. Esses componentes foram preditos através de regressões lineares múltiplas por doze parâmetros acústicos automaticamente extraídos dos enunciados. Os resultados mostram uma percepção semelhante das emoções entre ambas as culturas.
