Using computer-assisted measurements, the influence of tone on the ability to signal affect through prosody in Taiwanese, Mandarin and Thai is explored and compared to English. The presence of tone in a language significantly inhibits the unrestricted manipulation of three acoustical measures of prosody which are involved in producing local pitch changes in the fundamental frequency contour during affective signalling. These results are evaluated in the light of recent discoveries concerning the neurology and hemispheric lateralization of prosodic, affective and linguistic representations of language in the human brain.
