Motor resonance processes are involved both in language comprehension and in affect perception. Therefore we predict that listeners understand spoken affective words slower, if the phonetic form of a word is incongruent with its affective meaning. A language comprehension study involving an interference paradigm confirmed this prediction. This interference suggests that affective phonetic cues contribute to language comprehension. A perceived smile or frown affects the listener, and hearing an incongruent smile or frown impedes our comprehension of spoken words.
► Smiles and frowns may interfere with speech production and comprehension.
► Speech synthesis of words with positive and with negative meaning.
► Formants shifted up or down to simulate smiling and frowning.
► Incongruent smiling or frowning impedes speech comprehension.
► Interference due to motor mimicry of smiling and frowning gestures.
