Tongue Gestures Awareness and Pronunciation Training
Pronunciation training based on speech production techniques illustrating tongue movements is gaining popularity. However, there is not sufficient evidence that learners can imitate some tongue animation. In this paper, we investigated human awareness of controlling their tongue body gestures. In a first experiment, participants were asked to perform some tongue movements. This task was evaluat...
متن کاملBeat Gestures in Direction Giving
When humans speak, they use gestures that “are not random but convey to listeners information that can complement or even supplement the information relayed in speech” [1]. To illustrate this, consider three of the main gesture types from [2]. Deictic gestures are pointing movements indicating the location of items being referred to.

متن کاملThe effects of pitch accentuation and beat gestures on information recall in contrastive discourse
Research in audiovisual prosody has shown that typically beat gestures are temporally integrated with prominent positions in speech (e.g., [1, 2]). There is independent evidence that both prosodic prominence (e.g., pitch accents) and gestural prominence associated with words (e.g., beat gestures) facilitate the recall of information (e.g., [3, 4, 5]). However, previous studies did not directly ...
متن کاملModelling Pronunciation in Discourse Context
Abstract This paper describes a method for modelling phone-level pronunciation in discourse context. Spoken language is annotated with linguistic and related information in several layers. The annotation serves as a description of the discourse context and is used as training data for decision tree model induction. In a cross validation experiment, the decision tree pronunciation models are sho...
متن کاملBeat gestures facilitate speech production
Does gesturing help speakers find the right words? According to several theories of speech-gesture relationships, iconic gestures should facilitate speech production, but beat gestures should not. Here we tested the effects of gesturing on word production in two experiments. Participants produced lowfrequency words from their definitions while instructed to perform beat gestures, iconic gesture...
