AB This study aims to ascertain whether there is a correlation between the emotionassociated with a verbal expression and its duration. In particular, it focuses on the effectthat two factors associated with emotions have on the variability of duration. These are:polarity, i.e. the positivity or negativity of emotions; and the arousal or state of physicalactivation that emotions entail.An experiment was carried out, in which native English speakers were asked topronounce a series of sentences that were associated with different emotions. The averageof the durations per emotion was collected and statistically analyzed through an ANOVAtest. The results reveal that the influence of polarity and arousal cannot be observedindividually, as they work in conjunction. This is because the effect that the arousalproduces in the duration depends on the polarity of the emotion that the sentence carries.
