| Abstract | Backchannels play an important role in spoken dialogue, especially in attentive listening such as counseling. Appropriately coordinated backchannels help establish rapport in that kind of dialogue. We investigate whether and how synchrony is expressed by the prosodic features of backchannels with respect to the preceding speaker’s utterances. By analyzing counseling dialogue, we find out correlation patterns according to the type of backchannels and prosodic features; a larger correlation is observed for reactive tokens than acknowledging tokens and for the power features than the pitch features. Based on the observations, we also conduct prediction of prosodic parameters of backchannels in order to replace the conventional conversational systems that generate monotonous backchannels. |
