Abstract:

The recognition of vocal emotions across cultures means understand the emotional information through voice in cross-culture situations. Whereas existing researches mainly focus on: cross-cultural consistency; the effect of in-group advantage; the study of gender and age; the recognition of spontaneous voice emotions; the selection of language materials. So our future research should further explore the aspects of materials obtaining, the influence factors and bilingualism.

Key words: vocally emotions, cross-cultural study, in-group advantage effect, spontaneous emotions
