Abstract(in English) In this paper, we discriminated speaker's emotions in speech by multivariate analysis. We extracted prosody components, such as temporal structure, amplitude structure and pitch stricture, from 224 speech samples, representing suitably speaker's emotions. As features representing emotion, we adopted statistics and temporal patterns of prosody components, for which pitch exists, and temporal structures independent of word's length. We calculated Mahalanobis' distance of the principal components of these features and conducted discrimination of emotions independent of words and speakers. As a result 204 speech samples (92.0%) are classified into emotion to which they should belong. Furthermore, we could almost correctly discriminate such emotion as "Anger" and "Joy", which couldn't be distinguished by conventional researches.
