Intonation Patterns in Nepali Feedback Units
This paper analyzes the intonation patterns of Nepali Feedback units. Both eliciting and giving feedback units with basic, acceptance and additional level function have been collected from a spoken language corpus. The excerpts have been taken from transcriptions of 35 recordings, along with their audio files from 11 different social activities with both male and female participants, a total of...
متن کاملReferent tracking in restricted texts using a lemmatized lexicon: implications for generation of intonation
An algorithm for referent tracking in a restricted domain is described which allows one to preprocess a text and automatically tag words as either contextually ‘New’ or ‘Given’. The algorithm presupposes computational modelling of lexical semantic identity of sense relations as well as information on inflexional/derivational morphology and compounding. This information is available in a lemmati...
متن کاملCombining Deictic Gestures and Natural Language for Referent Identification
In virtually all current natural-language dialog systems, users can only refer to objects by using linguistic descriptions. However, in human face-to-face conversation, participants fre= quently use various sorts of deictic gestures as well. In this paper, we will present the referent identification component of X T R A , a system for a natural-language access to expert systems. X T R A allows ...
متن کاملUnits of interaction : ‘ Intonation phrases ’ or ‘ turn constructional phrases ’ ?
This paper tests the usefulness of the category ‘intonation phrase’ for the analysis of natural conversation. It asks whether the intonation phrase is a relevant unit for participants, and if so, whether it is a prosodic, or indeed an interactional category. The data show that while participants do divide their speech into intonation phrase-like chunks, these chunks are not defined by intonatio...
متن کاملIdentification of emotional intonation evaluated by fMRI.
During acoustic communication among human beings, emotional information can be expressed both by the propositional content of verbal utterances and by the modulation of speech melody (affective prosody). It is well established that linguistic processing is bound predominantly to the left hemisphere of the brain. By contrast, the encoding of emotional intonation has been assumed to depend specif...
