The article gives a general characteristic of polycode messengers, which represent an information space that connects different elements the political system and creates conditions for continuous communication. Communication through genre 2.0 formats becomes means manipulating mass consciousness these channels. need analysis messengers is conditioned by their growing popularity as arena struggl...

This paper reports on recent developments for the creation and analysis of very large databases of emotional and attitudinallymarked speech for the support of research into concatenative methods for producing synthesised speech which is capable of expressing the range of prosody and phonation styles to emulate human spoken interactions. It addresses the problems of ensuring high spontaneity in ...

This work presents two new approaches for parameter estimation of the superpositional intonation model for German. These approaches introduce linguistic and paralinguistic assumptions allowing the initialization of a previous standard method. Additionally, all restrictions on the configuration of accents were eliminated. The proposed linguistic hypotheses can be based on either tonal or lexical...

Thai intonation can be categorized as paralinguistic information of F0 contour of the utterance. There are three classes of intonation pattern in Thai, the Fall Class, the Rise Class, and the Convolution Class. This paper presents a method of intonation pattern recognition of Thai utterance. Two intonation feature contours, extracted from F0 contour, were proposed. The feature contours were con...

The relationship between social competence and information processing among individuals with chronic schizophrenia was investigated. Thirty-eight inpatients participated in a role play test of social competence and completed a battery of information-processing tasks. Information processing was found to be significantly related to social competence, even after controlling for patient demographic...

We use a feedforward Convolutional Neural Network to classify speakers’ native language for the INTERSPEECH 2016 Computational Paralinguistic Challenge Native Language SubChallenge, using no specialized features for computational paralinguistics tasks, but only MFCCs with their first and second order deltas. In addition, we augment the training data by replacing the original examples with short...

Abstract Kinesics is a paralinguistic feature that helps convey message quickly, especially in TESOL environment. one of the main features paralinguistics, which comprises various nonverbal fundamental elements. In this study, researchers collected data regarding effectiveness kinesics for ESOL learners using questionnaire with sample 385 instructors and from Saudi Arabian universities. Two hyp...

Emotive speech is a non-invasive and cost-effective biomarker in wide spectrum of neurological disorders with computational systems built to automate the diagnosis. In order explore possibilities for automation routine analysis presence hard learn pathology patterns, we propose framework assess level competence paralinguistic communication. Initially, assessment relies on perceptual experiment ...
