AbstractAnalyses the features of the time, amplitude,

fundamental frequency and formant constructions involving 5 75 61
emotions as happiness, anger, surprise, sorrow and neutrality.
43 46
Through speech parameters extracted from emotional database
of German, this paper sums up the distribution laws of emotional
features of different emotional speech signal and presents III.
practically theoretical data for processing and recognition of
emotional speech.
