Abstract
That speech conveys content or "semantic information" as well as "affective information" can be shown by passing voice selections through a "low-pass filter such that frequencies above 300~ (are) severely attenuated" and asking judges to estimate the ""amount of emotion" and "pleasantness"" expressed.Keywords
