Abstract

The present pilot study investigates spoken hate-speech items, produced by a professional German speaker after actual Twitter and Facebook posts and reflecting characteristic morpho-syntactic features of German hate speech. Acoustic-prosodic signal analyses reveal a considerable featurespecific variation in the production of hate speech. Thus, at least at the level of phonetics and spoken hate speech, no evidence was found that hate speech is a separate communicative function conveyed by a set of uniformly realized prosodic characteristics.
