Contemporary speech production theory is introduced as the basis for modelling expression and emotive content in speech. The necessity for a computational approach is argued, together with the need for adequate testing of the models. Adding naturalness to synthetic speech, in the form of expressive content, is outlined as well as ideas about the inseparable relationship between production and perception.Less

This chapter introduces the concept of integrated speech production and perception, and the roles of speaker and listener. Production is for perception, i.e., the speech waveform triggers perceptions in the mind of the listener. The relationship between biological responses to external events and cognitive interpretation of the internal reaction to events is described. The biological and cognitive contributions to expressive and emotive speech are presented, including an evaluation of current lines of research.Less

This chapter begins with a discussion of current synthesis systems and the current paradigm for research in the area. Expression is highlighted as important in contributing to the naturalness of synthetic speech, as well as its general acceptance. An important research area concerns providing the synthesizer with listener feedback during ‘conversation’ between machine and human user — a largely neglected area in the development of synthesis. The theoretical concept of ‘ for perception’ and its synthesis is discussed.Less
