Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) We focused attention on harsh “rikimi” voice (pressed harsh voice,) which appears in state of emotion with tension, like “explosive rage” “anger” and/or “high spirit.” We investigated characteristics of location of harsh “rikimi” voice in utterances about phoneme, fundamental frequency and linguistic prosody information, like accent position. Results suggests that consonant and vowel of the mora, mora order in accent phrase, accent position, and mora order in phrase influence appearance of harsh “rikimi.” We have investigated the prediction model to control the emotional expression of a speech synthesis with harsh “rikimi” voice. Based on present results, we tried prediction of location of harsh “rikimi” mora in an utterance by quantification method II. Phonemes and linguistic prosody information were put in the model as explanatory variables.
