Culture and Gender of Voice Pitch provides a sociophonetic exploration of the voice pitch characteristics of speakers across the cultures of Japan and America. It makes a cogent argument for the socio-cultural role of voice pitch in the expression of emotion and politeness and how culture and gender can intersect with each other. This volume tenders acoustic phonetic evidence (as well as discourse analyses) in construing how an individual's voice pitch modulation utilized in conversational speech is reflected in this intersection as it demonstrates several methodological innovations crucial for sociophonetic research.
