In addition, it has been proven that emotion can be expressed in non-linguistic vocalizations differently than in speech. Women and men are also different in how they neurologically process emotional prosody. "Vocal Expression and Perception of Emotion". ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5371.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5371.txt
