Towards Annotation of Nonverbal Vocal Gestures in Slovak
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents some of the problems of classification and annotation of speech sounds that have their own phonetic content, phonological function, and prosody, but they do not have an adequate linguistic (or text) representation. One of the most important facts about these "nonverbal vocal gestures" is that they often have a rich semantic content and they play an important role in expressive speech. The techniques that have been used in an effort to find an adequate classification system and annotation scheme for these gestures include prosody modeling and approaches comparing the nonverbal vocal gestures with their verbal (lexical) and body counterparts.

Our knowledge, how the brain controls and interrelates gesture and speech, is still limited. An interesting branch of the study has been the relationship between aphasia and nonverbal behaviour. The main feature of aphasia is the impairment of communication via natural language. One of the most significant questions is, whether gestures may substitute or compensate for speech in the event of sp...
