Abstract

This study aims to integrate acoustic analysis into discourse analysis. We developed a method that targets the fifth and the ninety-fifth percentiles of acoustic parameters of the four prosodic dimensions: pitch (F0), power (amplitude), duration, and voice quality per each speaker. We then defined a new measure to express the Volume of Extremity (VoX) of a speaker's voice. To demonstrate the strength of our model, we analyzed two political interviews from the Israeli election campaign in 2019, one with Benjamin Netanyahu and the other with Benny Gantz. Findings suggest that the acoustically targeted utterances are meaningful to the speaker but in a complex manner.

引入极值量（VoX）方法将韵律数据整合到语篇分析中

本研究旨在将声学分析纳入语篇分析。我们开发了一种方法，针对四个韵律维度的声学参数的第五个和第九十五个百分位数：音高（F0）、功率（振幅）、持续时间和每个扬声器的音质。然后，我们定义了一个新的度量来表达说话者声音的极值音量（VoX）。为了展示我们模型的优势，我们分析了2019年以色列大选期间的两次政治采访，一次是对本雅明·内塔尼亚胡的采访，另一次是本尼·甘茨的采访。研究结果表明，针对声学的话语对说话者来说是有意义的，但方式很复杂。

期刊介绍： This journal is unique in that it provides a forum devoted to the interdisciplinary study of language and communication. The investigation of language and its communicational functions is treated as a concern shared in common by those working in applied linguistics, child development, cultural studies, discourse analysis, intellectual history, legal studies, language evolution, linguistic anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, the politics of language, pragmatics, psychology, rhetoric, semiotics, and sociolinguistics. The journal invites contributions which explore the implications of current research for establishing common theoretical frameworks within which findings from different areas of study may be accommodated and interrelated. By focusing attention on the many ways in which language is integrated with other forms of communicational activity and interactional behaviour, it is intended to encourage approaches to the study of language and communication which are not restricted by existing disciplinary boundaries.
