  1. Nov 1, 2021 · Research on within-individual modulation of vocal cues is surprisingly scarce outside of human speech. Yet, voice modulation serves diverse functions in human and nonhuman nonverbal communication, from dynamically signalling motivation and emotion, to exaggerating physical traits such as body size and masculinity, to enabling song and musicality.

  3. Dec 20, 2021 · Abstract. Voice modulatory cues such as variations in fundamental frequency, duration and pauses are key factors for structuring vocal signals in human speech and vocal communication in other tetrapods. Voice modulation physiology is highly similar in humans and other tetrapods due to shared ancestry and shared functional pressures for ...

  4. Apr 1, 2016 · We propose that voice modulation can provide key insights regarding the evolution of articulated human speech, focusing on how comparative explorations of the behavioral and neural bases of vocal control have the potential to lead to important advances in our understanding of the evolution of human vocal communication and the origins of speech.

  5. An unresolved issue in comparative approaches to speech evolution is the apparent absence of an intermediate vocal communication system between human speech and the less flexible vocal repertoires of other primates. We argue that humans’ ability to modulate nonverbal vocal features evolutionarily linked to expression of body size and sex (fundamental and formant frequencies) provides a ...

  6. This capacity appears in continuity with context-dependent frequency modulations recently identified in other mammals, including primates, and may represent a living relic of early vocal control abilities that led to articulated human speech. Keywords: formant scaling; fundamental frequency; nonverbal vocal communication; source–filter theory ...
