Acoustic vowel quality of filler particles in German
Get PDFThe vowel quality of filler particles (FP) is studied for 24 speakers of German who produced 666 instances of vocalic (äh) and vocalic-nasal forms (ähm) in spontaneous dialogues. The FP vowel quality is compared to reference vowels of a word list as well as to phonologically and graphematically similarly constructed lexical syllables. Filler particles show a complete overlap with the reference vowels [÷] and [5], but overlap only partially with [E] and [@]
A Semasiological Approach to Non-Lexical Conversational Sounds: Issues, Benefits and Impact
Get PDFThis paper proposes to consider a semasiological approach to non-verbal vocalisations. We claim that an acoustic analysis of the components of these sounds is needed to complement the findings of earlier studies. We propose that part of the information conveyed by these sounds comes from their acoustic components and that these components might be subjected to what resembles grammatical rules. Semantic issues are discussed at the end of the paper
Functions and social meanings of click sounds in Irish English
Get PDFThis study investigates the use and function of click sounds in Irish English. These paralinguistic elements are multifunctional and similar to linguistic discoursepragmatic markers. In addition to their discourse and pragmatic functions, they also index social meanings and are shown to be connected with assertive and authoritative stances
On the distribution of clicks and inbreaths in class presentations and spontaneous conversations: blending vocal and kinetic activities
Get PDFThe present exploratory study compares the distribution of clicks and inbreaths in the productions of French students in two different communication settings (semiread oral class presentations vs spontaneous dyadic conversations). Grounded in a conversation analytic and discourse-pragmatic approach, mixing qualitative and quantitative methods, this study looks at the functions of clicks and inbreaths as well as accompanying kinetic behaviors (e.g swallowing, facial expressions, hand movement) in discourse. Preliminary results show a higher rate of pre-utterances clicks and inbreaths during oral presentations, which reflects the type of talk produced (structured and clear, which requires planning and preparation). And the qualitative analyses illustrate the ways speakers blend vocal and kinetic activities when producing clicks and inbreaths
The IIIF standard and it's use-cases

Filled pauses and prolongations in Roman Italian task-oriented dialogue
Get PDFThis paper presents work in progress on two markers of hesitation in Roman Italian task-oriented dialogue, namely filled pauses and prolongations. We investigate their form, relative frequency, and distributional characteristics in Italian. Initial results suggest that Italian speakers produce prolongations more frequently than filled pauses, and that the prototypical hesitant prolongation involves a word-final vowel
Laughing about laughter: comparing conversational analysis, emotion psychology, and dialogical semantics
Get PDFThat laughter invites laughter is a basic tenet of Conversation Analysis analyses of laughter, whereas emotion psychology analyses describe various emotive and social effects laughter exhibits relative to various phonetic parameters. We provide data concerning laughter responses to laughter which we argue show neither approach can explicate and more generally suggest they cannot offer a general account of laughter and related non-verbal social signals. We sketch how distinct kinds of laughter responses to laughter - along with a host of other kinds of responses - can be systematically analyzed within a dialogical semantics, which integrates illocutionary and emotive effects
A Taxonomy of Non-verbal Responses to Gossip
Get PDFGossip is the exchange of socially relevant information. Sending and receiving gossip is a communicative process that involves evaluation of the information by the sender and receiver, with the receiver signalling their response by facial expressions or acoustic social signals. Responses to gossip may be positive or negative. Positive responses may be visual or acoustic, and negative responses may be indifferent or neutral. Here we will present a preliminary development of a taxonomy of the types of facial and acoustic responses displayed when an individual receives gossip information. This research will be developed to encompass a wider variety of social interaction and conversation events
EBS – Was ist das?
Get PDF„Evidence-based selection“ – also „datengestützte (Literatur-)Auswahl“ – bezeichnet auf dem Buchmarkt Angebotsmodelle, bei denen
Bibliotheksnutzer*innen für ein Jahr das gesamte E-Book-Angebot eines Verlags oder einer Plattform zur Verfügung steht. Am Ende des Jahres
wählt die Bibliothek anhand der Nutzungsstatistik aus, welche E-Books gekauft und damit dauerhaft in den Bibliotheksbestand aufgenommen
werden. Auf diese Weise können Universitätsangehörige wesentlich mehr Literatur nutzen als die Universität sonst finanzieren könnte.
Die Universität Bielefeld hat für die Jahre 2020 – 2022 jeweils 500.000 Euro zur Verfügung gestellt und es damit ermöglicht, das E-Book-Angebot
der Universitätsbibliothek um über 400.000 Titel zu erweitern. Der Vortrag schildert, welche Vorarbeiten dafür nötig waren, welche
Rahmenbedingungen gelten, wie die Nutzung im ersten halben Jahr aussah und wie es weitergehen wird
