This study is a survey of perception of emphasized message as para-language related to mental attitudes and feelings. It was carried out on Japanese language learners (Chinese, English and Korean L1) and native Japanese speakers using Japanese natural speech and mother tongue native speech. Both L1 and L2 subjects recognized paralinguistic features in order ① pronounced high and long, ② pronounced long, ③ non-emphasized voice, ④ pronounced fast for both natural speech (66%) and mother tongue native speech (52%), the emphasis order was consistent, suggesting the possibility of universality of language. L1 Japanese speakers tended to reverse the order of recognition in the case of “kanashii” (sad) in both the perception (κ=0.22) and questionnaire results. L2 Japanese learners had more difficulty with paralinguistic information included in syllabic nasal and double consonants.
