    1. The study investigated the use of the response token "uhu" in naturally occurring conversations to see if prosodic cues like pitch patterns differentiated between instances where it functioned as a continuer versus an acknowledgment. 2. No differences were found in pitch range or movement between the two functions. Pitch characteristics varied within classes but did not predict the interactional differences. 3. Pitch characteristics of a response token appeared to depend on the pitch of the prior speaker's talk, copying a rise or fall. This copying behavior seemed to manage turn-taking in conversations. 4. A technique using cross-correlation to objectively measure prosodic similarity between pitch contours is presented and could be extended to other cues

    Prosodic matching of response tokens in conversational speech

    Jan Gorisch, University of Sheffield,


    Department of Computer Science, Department of Human Communication Sciences
    The phonetic forms and discourse functions of response tokens such as mm have
    been investigated for several decades !n general, previous studies have attempted
    to classify response tokens according to their communicative function, and then to
    search for prosodic similarities "ithin each class #Gardner, $%%&' Using data from
    naturally(occurring research meetings in the )*! corpus #native +ritish and )merican
    speakers' "e investigated the response token uhu in this "ay !nteractional analysis
    "as used to identify instances of uhu that functioned either as continuers or as
    ackno"ledgments, and then "e attempted to identify prosodic #and visual' cues
    "hich might differentiate these t"o functions ,o difference in pitch patterns #-%
    range, -% movement' could be found bet"een response tokens "ith the t"o different
    conversational functions. pitch characteristics could vary bet"een e/tremes #eg
    rising and falling pitch movements' "ithin classes that "ere distinct from an
    interactional point of vie" 0isual cues such as gestures and ga1e did not predict
    these differences either Ho"ever, it "as observed that pitch characteristics of
    tokens of the same class appeared to depend on the pitch characteristics of the
    immediate prior talk of the interactional partner !f, for e/ample, the prior talk ended
    "ith rising intonation, the response token "as also produced "ith a rise if it "as
    encouraging the other speaker to continue talking !n order to perform the same
    action, the intonation of the 2uhu3 "as falling if the previous talk ended "ith a fall
    This "as not the case "hen the utterer of the 2uhu3 "as taking the floor or pro4ecting
    to do so !n order to 5uantify these effects, a techni5ue that ob4ectively measures the
    similarity of prosodic features such as pitch movement and individual speakers6
    ranges is presented Using some e/amples "e e/plore ho" copying vs non(copying
    behaviour in the prosodic domain of short response tokens is used to manage talk in
    multi(party interaction #S1c1epek 7eed, $%%8' The analysis is based on the principal
    of cross(correlation "here the similarity of t"o signals 9 here -% contours 9 is
    established The method is e/tensible to cover other prosodic cues such as intensity
    or tempo, and even visual cues such as head nodding
