Voice / Vocal Qualifier

音饰

A term used by some linguists as part of their analysis of the paralinguistic features of the voice. Examples are the expression of various emotional states, such as anger or sarcasm, by means of vocal effects such as a ‘harsh’ or ‘tense’ quality - effects which are sometimes specific to individual languages. The term voice quality is sometimes used in a general sense to include these effects.

有的语言学家用于嗓音的副语言特征的分析。例如，借助“尖刺声”或“绷紧声”这类音质的发声效应来表达各种情感，如愤怒或讽刺—这些效应有时是个别语言所特有的。“音饰”一语有时用来泛指这些效应。
