The Influence of Scenario Constraints on the Spontaneity of Speech. A Comparison of Dialogue Corpora
Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2000)
Abstract
In this article we compare two large scale dialogue corpora recorded in different settings. The main differences are unrestricted turn-taking vs. push-to-talk button and complex vs. simple negotiation task. In our investigation we found that vocabulary, durations of turns, words and sounds as well as prosodical features are influenced by differences in the setting.
