For people to communicate with each other, they must tie, or anchor, each of their utterances to the speaker, addressees, place, time, display, and purpose of that utterance. Doing this takes coordination. Producers must index each of these entities for their addressees, and addressees must identify each of the entities the producers are indexing. When people are face to face, they have a battery of resources for doing this-speech, gestures of all kinds, and interactive strategies. But when addressees are separated from producers in space, time, or worlds, as on the telephone or in print, the available resources are more limited. The problem is that research on comprehension, production, and communication has often ignored, disguised, or distorted anchoring. As a result, accounts of these processes are often incomplete, misleading, or incorrect.

Speech Emotion Recognition Incorporating Relative Difficulty and Labeling Reliability.
Sensors (Basel)
June 2024
School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, Buk-gu, Gwangju 61005, Republic of Korea.
Emotions in speech are expressed in various ways, and the speech emotion recognition (SER) model may perform poorly on unseen corpora that contain different emotional factors from those expressed in training databases. To construct an SER model robust to unseen corpora, regularization approaches or metric losses have been studied. In this paper, we propose an SER method that incorporates relative difficulty and labeling reliability of each training sample.

Speech training apps are being developed that provide automatic feedback concerning children's production of known target words, as a score on a 1-5 scale. However, this 'goodness' scale is still poorly understood. We investigated listeners' ratings of 'how many stars the app should provide as feedback' on children's utterances, and whether listener agreement is affected by clinical experience and/or access to anchor stimuli.

Dept of Behavioural Sciences and Learning, Linköping University, Campus Valla, Linköping, 58 183, Sweden. Electronic address:
Early infancy is a critical period for the development of food likes and dislikes, but very little is known about the role of the social context and parent-child interaction within this process, and even less about what happens in the home environment. The current paper addresses this issue by examining how and when parents utter food assessments about their infants' eating practices during mealtimes in the home, and the practices through which infant likes become established as knowledge. A data corpus of 77 video-recorded infant mealtimes from six infants (aged 5-9 months) and their parents was analysed using discursive psychology, with a specific focus on the use of object-side and subject-side assessments.

The present experiments were designed to assess infants' abilities to use syllable co-occurrence regularities to segment fluent speech across contexts. Specifically, we investigated whether 9-month-old infants could use statistical regularities in one speech context to support speech segmentation in a second context. Contexts were defined by different word sets representing contextual differences that might occur across conversations or utterances.

Department of Psychiatry, Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital Cologne, University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany.
Perspective taking has been proposed to be impaired in persons with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), especially when implicit processing is required. In narrative texts, language perception and interpretation is fundamentally guided by taking the perspective of a narrator. We studied perspective taking in the linguistic domain of so-called Free Indirect Discourse (FID), during which certain text segments have to be interpreted as the thoughts or utterances of a protagonist without explicitly being marked as thought or speech representations of that protagonist (as in direct or indirect discourse).
