What causes prosody?

Prosody refers to intonation, stress pattern, loudness variations, pausing, and rhythm. We express prosody mainly by varying pitch, loudness, and duration. We also may use greater articulatory force to emphasize a word or phrase.

What are some problems with prosody?

Many people with autism lack the ability to use prosody and thus have what is often described as a “flat” voice. This is sometimes misinterpreted as a lack of interest, lack of intelligence, lack of humor, or lack of emotional response.

What does Dysprosody sound like?

The patient with dysprosody will generally sound “monotone,” unable to change the affective tone of voice as requested. Though changes in softness and loudness of speech still occur, the actual tonality does not vary.

What part of the brain controls prosody?

The results demonstrated several cerebral areas critical for emotional prosody processing. We confirmed that the superior temporal cortex, especially the right middle and posterior parts of superior temporal gyrus (BA 22/42), primarily works to discriminate between emotional and neutral prosodies.

How does prosody affect speech perception?

If prosodic boundary perception indeed directly contributes to the perceptual shift of phonetic category, and if the lack of the F0 cue weakens the boundary perception, a reduced shifting effect may be observed when the F0 cue is not available to the listener.

Can aphasia be caused by anxiety?
