Abstract

The characteristics of the spoken language used to address infants have been eagerly studied as a part of the language acquisition research. Because of the uncontrollability factor with regard to the infants, the features and roles of infant- directed speech were tried to be revealed by the comparison of speech directed toward infants and that toward other listeners. However, they share few characteristics with infants, while infants have many characteristics which may derive the features of IDS. In this study, to solve this problem, we will introduce a new approach that replaces the infant with an infant-like robot which is designed to control its motions and to imitate its appearance very similar to a real infant. We have now recorded both infant- and infant- like robot-directed speech and are constructing both corpora. Analysis of these corpora is expected to contribute to the studies of infant-directed speech. In this paper, we discuss the contents of this approach and the outline of the corpora.

婴儿指向语和类婴儿机器人指向语语料库的构建

作为语言习得研究的一部分，对幼儿口语特征的研究一直备受关注。由于婴儿言语的不可控性因素，本文试图通过对婴儿言语和对其他听者言语的比较来揭示婴儿指向言语的特点和作用。然而，他们与婴儿共有的特征很少，而婴儿有许多特征可能衍生出IDS的特征。在这项研究中，为了解决这个问题，我们将引入一种新的方法，用一个类似婴儿的机器人来代替婴儿，这个机器人可以控制婴儿的运动，并模仿它的外观，非常类似于真正的婴儿。我们现在已经记录了婴儿式和婴儿式机器人定向语音，并正在构建这两种语料库。对这些语料库的分析有望为婴儿指示语的研究做出贡献。在本文中，我们讨论了该方法的内容和语料库的大纲。
