Hypothesis
Differences in country, language, sex, and speaker contribute to changes in how emotions are mapped onto speech prosody.
Note
After it is shown that different corpuses of speech map emotion onto speech prosody differently, the authors investigate which factors have the greatest influence on this. They found that models taking into account country, language, sex of speaker, and the speaker themself accounts for these differences.
