the main objective of the present study is to elaborate the contrasts between males and females in their use of different strategies of request in english and persian and ascertain the degree to which independent variables like gender and language affect the application of these strategies during informal communication.furthermore, it offers comparable corpora which provide a good basis for cro...

By observing and taking notes on all the processes of teaching autistic children to learn speak, this research statistics number speech structures 15 Vietnamese (at three levels) from 3 6 years old evaluate, analysis component developed: one-component utterance, two-component utterances, three-component utterances complex utterance. The were observed by using descriptive qualitative study evalu...

A multi-turn dialogue is composed of multiple utterances from two or more different speaker roles. Thus utterance- and speaker-aware clues are supposed to be well captured in models. However, the existing retrieval-based modeling, pre-trained language models (PrLMs) as encoder represent dialogues coarsely by taking pairwise history candidate response a whole, hierarchical information on either ...

The purpose of this paper is to examine the viability of synthesizing Masan dialect with Seoul dialect and to examine the role of prosody in the authentication of the synthesized Masan dialect. The synthesis was performed by transferring one or more of the prosodic features of the Masan utterance unto the Seoul utterance. The hypothesis is that, given an utterance composed of the phonemes share...

In this study, we analyzed prosodic features of accentual phrases and investigated their temporal changes to obtain cues for detecting boundaries at where turn-taking could occur in spontaneous conversations. The acoustic parameters used as prosodic features were the fundamental frequency, sound pressure level, and duration of accentual phrases in long utterance units. The results showed that t...

Methods for utterance veriication (UV) and their integration into statistical language modeling and spoken language understanding formalisms for a large vocabulary spoken understanding system are presented. The paper consists of three parts. First, a set of acoustic likelihood ratio based utterance veriication techniques are described and applied to the problem of rejecting portions of a hypoth...

To generate spontaneous utterances, it is important to omit some items from them appropriately. Previously, generation of elliptical utterances is discussed only from a view of whether an item in question is known or unknown in the context of dialogue. We point out that some items that are already known should not be omitted in some situation. For example, omitting too many items from utterance...

This paper reports our recent development of a highly reliable call analysis technique that makes novel use of automatic speech recognition (ASR), speech utterance classification and non-speech features. The main ideas include the use the NGram filler model to improve the ASR accuracy on important words in a message, and the integration of recognized utterance with non-speech features such as u...
