Backward mimicry and forward influence in prosodic contour choice in standard American English

Entrainment is the tendency of speakers engaged in conversation to align different aspects of their communicative behavior. In this study we explore in more detail a measure of prosodic entrainment defined in previous work, which uses a discrete parametrization of intonational contours defined by th...

In this study we explore in more detail a measure of prosodic entrainment defined in previous work, which uses a discrete parametrization of intonational contours defined by the ToBI conventions for prosodic description. We divide this measure into two asymmetric variants: backward mimicry (in which a speaker uses a contour used previously by the interlocutor) and forward influence (in which a speaker's contour appears later in the speech of the interlocutor). This distinction sheds new light on significant correlations with a number of social variables related to the level of engagement of speakers in a corpus of task-oriented dialogues in Standard American English.
