近年の研究では,英語の単語・文レベルの強勢が下顎の開きの大きさに顕現することが示されてきた。この結果を踏まえ,本稿では日本語の韻律パターンがどのように下顎の開きに影響するかを検証した。対象としたのは日本語のピッチアクセント,韻脚(foot),韻律句(phonological phrase)の影響である。EMAを使った本実験によると,ピッチアクセントは日本語では顎の動きに影響が無く,韻脚もはっきりとした影響を及ぼしているとは言いがたい。しかし韻律句に関しては,句の最初や最後,特に文の最後に大きな顎の開きがみられ,ここに何かしら強勢を認めることができる。ここで浮かび上がってくる仮説は,「日本語にも強勢が存在する」というもので,従来の「英語=強勢言語,日本語=アクセント言語」という分類法に疑問を投げかける。

In this study, we conducted a comparative experiment on emotion perception among different cultures. Emotional components were perceived by subjects from Japan, the United States and China, all of whom had no experience living abroad. An emotional speech database without linguistic information was used in this study and evaluated using three- and/or six-emotional dimensions. Principal component analysis (PCA) indicates that the common factors could explain about 60% variance of the data among the three cultures by using a three-emotion description and about 50% variance between Japanese and Chinese cultures by using a six-emotion description. The effects of the emotion categories on perception results were investigated. The emotions of anger, joy and sadness (group 1) have consistent structures in PCA-based spaces when switching from three-emotion categories to six-emotion categories. Disgust, surprise, and fear (group 2) appeared as paired counterparts of anger, joy and sadness, respectively. When investigating the subspaces constructed by these two groups, the similarity between the two emotion groups was found to be fairly high in the two-dimensional space. The similarity becomes lower in 3- or higher dimensional spaces, but not significantly different. The results from this study suggest that a wide range of human emotions might fall into a small subspace of basic emotions.
