“…Historically, the majority of research on vocal emotional communication in humans has eschewed call types altogether, focusing instead on the capacity for prosodic cues accompanying speech to convey emotion ( Juslin & Laukka, 2003 ; Scherer et al, 1991 ) and other types of information ( Filippi, 2016 ; Tzeng et al, 2018 ). More recently, researchers have increasingly and promisingly investigated nonlinguistic vocalizations such as laughs, cries, and screams ( Engelberg, Schwartz & Gouzoules, 2019 ; Hawk et al, 2009 ; Sauter et al, 2010 ; Schröder, 2003 ; Schwartz, Engelberg & Gouzoules, 2019 )—that is, the vocalizations most likely comprising the repertoire of human call types ( Anikin, Bååth & Persson, 2018 ) that are homologous to calls in other species ( Davila-Ross, Owren & Zimmermann, 2009 ; Lingle et al, 2012 ; Owren, Amoss & Rendall, 2011 ). Much of this work has assessed the capacity for these vocalizations to convey emotion, revealing that different emotions map onto statistically-dissociable acoustic profiles ( Sauter et al, 2010 ), and that listeners can distinguish rather nuanced categories of emotion ( Hawk et al, 2009 ; Parsons et al, 2014 ; Sauter & Scott, 2007 ; Sauter et al, 2010 ; Schröder, 2003 ; Schwartz & Gouzoules, 2019 ; Simon-Thomas et al, 2009 ; Young et al, 2017 ).…”
