Sound and function regularities in interjections
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates the relation between the sound patterns of interjections and their functional realisation in the discourse process. It considers whether certain interjection functions tend to have particular sound distributions. In order to address these questions a classification scheme for American English nonlexical interjections in terms of discourse markers is also presented.

متن کاملUh Mark
Spoken language is full of disfluencies. A frequent sound expressing hesitation is uh (or any variant thereof), but its linguistic status is debated. This article offers a new perspective on hesitation particles. First, the position is defended that they are linguistic signals, hence words, and it is shown that they belong to the larger class of interjections on the basis of a number of qualita...

This paper tries to provide an estimate of efficiency in eight Iranian banks, namely, Melli, Saderat, Mellat, Tejarat, Sepah, Refah, Keshavarzi and Maskan during 1996-2008, using the globally flexible Fourier Cost Functional Form and imposing theoretical regularities, discussed in Neoclassic microeconomic theory. One of the efficiency estimation methods is to estimate the cost function of ...
متن کاملAnalytical vibroacoustic modeling of an elastic Rayleigh beam using Green's function
The purpose of this article is to provide an analytical model of the vibroacoustic for an elastic beam submerged in low subsonic flows with mean velocities. In general, vibroacoustic modeling refers to the combined effects of sound propagation and mechanical vibration of the structure. Sound radiations from submerged structures are coupled with physical phenomena because the sound pressures act...

Background & Aims: In addition to the adverse effects of noise in the auditory system, non-auditory effects can be regarded as factors which cause physiological harassment, discomfort and also disorder in cognitive functions. The present study aimed at determining cognitive function after exposuring to different levels of sound pressure level in a clinical trial study. Materials & Metho...
