Utterance events and indirect speech
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present paper presents a unified analysis of free and embedded indirect speech, with a specific focus on German. First we need a context-based analysis of indexicals (rigid/shiftable) which can capture their orientation in uses in indirect speech. The analysis includes a treatment of the German reportative subjunctive as a shiftable indexical tense. Indirect speech in embedded clauses of the type Peter said that S forces us to extend this context-based analysis of indexicals by an adequate link to the matrix clause. I assume that the event introduced by the matrix verb (‘say’, ‘think’ etc.) provides the context parameter for the embedded clause. The resulting analysis makes correct predictions for a wide range of phenomena such as quantification over embedded speech, embedding under passive clauses and indirect speech in nominalizations.

Recognizing the Emotional State Changes in Human Utterance by a Learning Statistical Method based on Gaussian Mixture Model
Speech is one of the most opulent and instant methods to express emotional characteristics of human beings, which conveys the cognitive and semantic concepts among humans. In this study, a statistical-based method for emotional recognition of speech signals is proposed, and a learning approach is introduced, which is based on the statistical model to classify internal feelings of the utterance....

متن کاملPresentation of K Nearest Neighbor Gaussian Interpolation and comparing it with Fuzzy Interpolation in Speech Recognition
Hidden Markov Model is a popular statisical method that is used in continious and discrete speech recognition. The probability density function of observation vectors in each state is estimated with discrete density or continious density modeling. The performance (in correct word recognition rate) of continious density is higher than discrete density HMM, but its computation complexity is very ...
متن کاملA dialogue control strategy based on the reliability of speech recognition
This paper considers a dialog control strategy based on the reliability of speech recognition. The spoken dialog system using this strategy accepts an utterance of the user if the reliability is high, while it rejects the utterance and asks the user to speak again (the basic strategy), or con rms the content of the utterance if the reliability is low. The purpose of this paper is to estimate tw...
