Speech expression

Speech expression in linguistics refers to acoustic characteristics ( acoustic phonetics ) of human language.

According to Norbert Gutenberg, the phenomenological parameters of speech expression can be divided into four groups:

• melodic parameters (such as pitch and timbre)
• dynamic parameters (such as volume and emphasis)
• temporal parameters (such as speaking speed , in music " agogic ", and speaking rhythm )
• articulatory parameters (such as sound binding and clarity; see articulatory phonetics )
