The analysis was based on the Spanish emotional prosody studies and its relationship with the bio-informational theory of emotion. Results shows a characterization of the tonal curve by emotion, with perceptible points of interest as reference for future descriptive or perception studies.

Keywords : prosody; emotions; Mexican Spanish; bio-informational theory; fundamental frequency-F0.
