Laughter: Its Components and Synthesis
Laughter is a highly complex physiological process of breathing and voicing.. There is a wide variety of terminologies used to describe the various aspects of laughter, hence a description relevant to this research follows:A short burst or a train of laughter (i.e., a laughter bout), comprises two main components. Voiced laughter-calls, utterances that excite the vocal chords and generate sound, and unvoiced sounds, generated as breathing sounds with air passing through the larynx without involving vocal chord vibrations. Usually, the voiced and unvoiced parts alternate in a laughter event, but it is also possible that they co-occur. Figure 1 shows a typical laughter bout illustrating these parts.
A laughter even starts with a contextual or semantic impulse, that puts the speaker in a laughing state. When laughing, there are continuous bursts of air exhalation and intake that each last for a short period. This intake and exhalation can be seen as an oscillatory behavior that can be observed in most laughter bouts. Figure 1 illustrates this observation. It is a plot of an actual laughter sample from a human.
You should take this on the road, you are fu-nny.
