Disfluencies in Public and Private Speech
This study investigates how speakers adapt their use of disfluencies in public versus private speech settings. Existing studies suggest systematic differences in disfluency rates, depending on who we are communicating with, how interactive the communication is, how difficult the topic is, whether the interaction is broadcast or not, and whether the speech is pre-scripted or not. We aim to improve this understanding through analysis in the Sloveni…
Annotating dialogue acts in speech data: Problematic issues and basic dialogue act categories
The aims of this paper are to detect the most problematic issues related to dialogue act annotation in speech corpora and to define basic categories of dialogue acts. I critically examine and test generic schemes that represent different lines of dialogue act annotation: AMI, DART, ISO 24617–2 and SWBD-DAMSL. It is found that the most problematic issues regarding dialogue act annotation are related to the distinction between the semantic and prag…
Discourse markers in relation tonon-verbal behavior: How do speech and body language correlate
The research proposed in this paper focuses on pragmatic interlinks between discourse markers and non-verbal behavior. Although non-verbal behavior is recognized to add non-redundant information and social interaction is not merely recognized as the transmission of words and sentences, the evidence regarding grammatical/linguistic interlinks between verbal and non-verbal concepts are vague and limited to restricted domains. This is even more evid…

Slovene in the Palm of Your Hand 2. The monograph is a continuation of the publication Slovene in the Palm of Your Hand 1. In the first part, the results of the project Slovene in the Palm of Your Hand, which is being carried out at the University of Maribor from 2017 until 2021, are presented. It outlines the e-environment for learning from the perspective of the teacher’s and the pupil’s user experience. As the e-environment provides exercises …
Zbornik konference Jezikovne tehnologije in digitalna humanistika
With this year's conference we are celebrating the 20th anniversary since the first conference »Language technologies« which took place in 1998 in Cankarjev dom, Ljubljana and was organized by Tomaž Erjavec, Vojko Gorjanc, Jerneja Žganec Gros and Anica Rant. The topics of the first conference were the development and application of language technologies for Slovene and directions for the future. 26 papers were presented, dealing with speech techn…
A speech corpus as a source of lexical information
This paper presents an investigation of what is gained in the process of dictionary creation by using a speech reference corpus of one million words in conjunction with a huge written reference corpus. It also analyses how much additional effort this requires. Collecting spoken data takes a great deal of effort, and existing speech corpora are rather insignificant in size compared to written corpora, which represent the main and often only source…
Frazeološkost krščanskega izrazja v vsakdanjem govoru
V prispevku raziskujemo rabo krščanskega izrazja v frazemih (s poudarkom na pragmatičnih frazemih). Kot dopolnitev predhodnim frazeološkim razpravam, ki temeljijo na slovarskem gradivu oz. pisnih besedilih ali pisnih korpusih, nas zanima raba v vsakdanjem spontano govorjenem jeziku. Rezultati kažejo, da gre za besede, ki so prevladujoče rabljene v nepropozicijski (metadiskurzni) vlogi, predvsem za izražanje odnosa govorca do vsebine pogovora, red…
Internal variety in the use of Slovene general extenders in different spoken discourse settings
In the present paper, we investigate a group of markers in spoken interaction, commonly termed general extenders (GEs). We compare their usage in different discourse settings within the reference speech corpus of the Slovene language GOS. The results show that there is a high variability of GE form, but that most forms are rarely used. GEs are generally less frequent in public and formal settings, such as classes and radio and television informat…
Pragmatic functions of Christian expressions in spoken discourse
Different kinds of pragmatic expressions in spoken discourse, like discourse markers, interjections, topic orientation markers, pragmatic deictics, general extenders, etc., have attracted the attentions of researchers over recent decades. However, expressions that have their origins within religions have not as yet been studied from the pragmatic perspective, even though in everyday conversation they are used in non-religious contexts and content…
Key word analysis of discourses in Slovene speech: Differences and similarities
One of the aspects of speech that remains under-researched is the internal variety of speech, i.e. the differences and similarities between different types of speech. This paper aims to contribute to this research by making the comparison between different discourses of Slovene spontaneous speech, focusing on the use of vocabulary. The key word analysis (Scott, 1997), conducted on a million‐word corpus of spoken Slovene, was used to identify lexi…

The impact of context on discourse marker use in two conversational genres
The relationships between text or talk and the context are among the basic fields of pragmatic research and an insight into their nature may contribute to a better understanding of language use. In this article, we use the results of an analysis of discourse marker use in two different conversational genres (telephone conversation and television interviews) in an attempt to examine the impact of context on the use of discourse markers, generalize…
