Abstract
In this thesis, an emotion conversion system has been proposed for expressive Arabic speech; this system combines the transformation of both spectral and prosodic parameters. Four parameters have been transformed to obtain the desired expression: pitch, duration, energy, and spectral envelope. The effect of converting each speech parameter in our system is studied and the overall emotion conversion system performance is evaluated. In pitch conversion, the effect of using two different intonation units (words-syllables) and using different pitch detectors on the converted speech is also studied
