Prosodic Correlates of Rhetorical Appeal Voice Wave Analysis of Ethos, Pathos and Logos
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper a study is described on the prosodic voice wave characteristics of different rhetorical styles. Analysed were pitch, intensity and duration features of segments annotated ethos, pathos and/or logos in the 2004 Democratic National Convention Keynote Address of Barack Obama (USA). It was discovered that ethos shows a lower mean pitch and a slower speech rate, possibly to confer more credibility, and that logos, representing rational arguments, is spoken in a faster manner than pathos and ethos. However, these results are not statistically significant.
