Abstract:

This study investigates the perception and production of emotional prosody by
native and non-native listeners and speakers, i.e. Chinese and Dutch listeners
and speakers, including Dutch L2 learners of Chinese. The acoustic analysis in
this dissertation shows differences between three types of production of
emotional prosody, i.e. Chinese L1, Dutch L2 and Dutch L1. This study also
studies an in-group advantage and a cross-cultural perceptual ability of
recognizing emotional prosody in an unknown language. Furthermore, a
functional view is tested in this study predicting that listeners of a tonal
language (such as Mandarin Chinese) will be less intent on and less proficient
in the paralinguistic use of prosody than listeners of a non-tonal language
(such as Dutch).This dissertation describes three judgment studies in total.
The first two were carried out with native and non-native speakers and
listeners of Chinese, and using Chinese native speakers and listeners to
provide a baseline. The third study was conducted to test how well novice
Chinese and Dutch listeners recognize emotional prosody expressed in their
native language and in the other language. The results show that Dutch L2
speakers of Chinese are not able to produce emotional prosody as well as
Chinese native speakers do; neither are they able to vocally express emotion
as recognizably as they do in their L1. It seems that Dutch L2 speakers of
Chinese develop a hybrid system for expressing emotional prosody in the L2.
Moreover, the functional view is supported, indicating that Dutch listeners
are generally better than Chinese listeners in recognizing emotional prosody,
regardless the language in which the emotion is expressed. This dissertation
is of interest to linguists, psychologists, phoneticians, language instructors
or coaches, and those who work in the perception and/or production of emotion
cross-culturally.
