How prosody and context shape the acoustic nature of rhetorical questions in German

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Article in proceedings › Research › peer-review

Abstract

Evidence of a production experiment is presented suggesting that, unlike often claimed in rhetorical manuals and coachings, it is actually the chest breathing rather than the abdominal "belly" breathing that supports the acoustic-prosodic parameter settings of a (more) charismatic/persuasive tone of voice.
