Differences in Speaker Individualising Information between Case Particles and Fillers in Spoken Japanese
نویسنده
چکیده
This study investigates idiosyncrasy manifested in language use in spoken Japanese. For this purpose, we use speaker classification techniques as analytical tools. More precisely, focusing on Japanese case particles and fillers, of which the linguistic functions differ significantly, we aim to investigate 1) the extent of speaker idiosyncrasy in the selection of certain case particles/fillers over others in Japanese monologues, and 2) the differences, if any, between case particles and fillers in the degree of speaker-individualising information. We discuss what contributes to the identified differences between case particles and fillers. This study will contribute to the further development of automatic speaker recognition systems and authorship analysis studies.

The linguistic anatomy of individual differences in Japanese monologues: Focusing on particles and interjections
This is a linguistic study on idiosyncrasy manifested through language use in Japanese monologues. For this purpose, we use speaker classification techniques as analytical tools. Focusing on Japanese particles, the subcategories of these particles, and interjections, we aim to find out to what extent Japanese speakers are idiosyncratic in selecting certain words above others in monologues. We a...
متن کاملVariability and Consistency in the Idiosyncratic Selection of Fillers in Japanese Monologues: Gender Differences
This study is a linguistic study on idiosyncrasy using speaker classification technique as an analytical tool. The goals of this study are to find out 1) to what extent Japanese filler words (e.g. um, you know in English) carry individual idiosyncratic information; 2) if there are any differences in the degree/nature of idiosyncrasy between the sexes; and 3) what contributes to the identified g...
متن کاملRobust dependency parsing of spontaneous Japanese speech and its evaluation
Spontaneously spoken Japanese includes a lot of grammatically ill-formed linguistic phenomena such as fillers, hesitations, inversions, and so on, which do not appear in written language. This paper proposes a method of robust dependency parsing using a large-scale spoken language corpus, and evaluates the availability and robustness of the method using spontaneously spoken dialogue sentences. ...

The Japanese adaptation of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR-J) is a tailored version of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), designed to better meet the needs of Japanese learners of English. The CEFR-J, like the CEFR, uses illustrative descriptors known as can-do statements, that describe achievement goals for five skills (listening, reading, spoken ...
