The paper proposes the results of comparison between auditory-perceptual and acoustic data obtained on the basis of the analysis of Russian, English, Spanish and Tatar speech produced in the emotional state “aggression”. Issues concerning the selection of relevant features in studies of the type are described. It is pointed out that the emotional state of aggression, as a special case of emotional state of physiological excitation, is characterized by acoustic markers that don’t always conform to the common sense rule saying that the values being measured must correspond. In the concluding part of the paper preliminary approximate qualitative estimates of auditory-perceptual and acoustic characteristics describing the pronunciational manifestation of emotional state “aggression” in the abovementioned languages are presented.
