| Popis: | This study investigated the relationship between head movement and fundamental frequency (F0) during speech by comparing continuous speech of congenitally blind and sighted speakers from YouTube videos. Positive correlations were found between F0 (measured in semitones) and vertical head movement for both speaker groups, with a stronger correlation for blind speakers. In addition, larger head movements and larger head movement per semitone ratios were observed for sighted speakers. These results suggest that physiological processes may account for part of the F0-related head movement and that sighted speakers use the visual modality to communicate F0 information through augmented head movement. |
