Abstract :
A multi-perspective describing method for emotional speech is proposed. Three perspectives - cognitive, psychological, physiological ones and seven phonetic evaluation features are involved, with which it is expected to describe speech emotion more completely and to bridge the gap between emotions and acoustic signals. A series of experiments including cognition tests and corpus annotation are implemented. Although preliminarily, the results still reveal the effectiveness of the method.
