As technology and human-computer interaction advances, there is an increased interest in affective computing. One of the current challenges in computational speech and text processing is addressing affective and expressive meaning, an area that has received fairly sparse attention in linguistics. Linguistic investigation in this area is motivated both by the need for scientific study of subjective language phenomena, and by useful applications such as expressive text-to-speech synthesis. The study makes contributions to the study of affect and language, by describing a novel data resource, outlining models and challenges for exploring affect in language, applying computational methods toward this problem with included empirical results, and suggesting paths for further research.Each participant was seated at a Fedora Linux laptop computer, as shown in Figs . 5.8, and used Sony MDR- V150 headphones. The subjects were paid for their participation. First, participants read instructions (see appendix B), followed by a anbsp;...
