Intonation Patterns and Response Functions of Interjections in Chinese Conversation:An Experimental Study on Auditory Perception from Interactive Perspective
In order to observe the relationship between the intonation patterns and their functions of interjections as responses,192 pairs of conversations were synthesized by combining 4 kinds of sen-tences of different sentence types and 4 kinds of interjection response words(a、ai、o、en)loaded with different intonations to observe the matching degrees between the types of the former sentences and the responses of the latter sentence in the Chinese conversation sequences,as well as the functional o-rientations of the interjections in different intonations.It is found that,the actual behavior types in-ferred from the response function selection results of the latter sentences are roughly consistent with the function types of the former sentences,but it also highlights the asymmetry of the former sen-tences in forms and functions.Respondents'choice of interjection and intonation affected subjects'choice of response function at the same time,and the influence of intonation was more obvious.The rising or falling intonations can realize the basic distinction of positive or negative response functions,and the functions of complex intonation such as rising-falling and falling-rising are mainly determined by the rising or falling trend of the back part of the curve.
