Measuring Dynamics of Mimicry by Means of Prosodic Cues in Conversational Speech

This study presents a method for measuring the dynamics of mimicry in conversational speech by means of prosodic cues. It shows that the more speakers are involved in a conversation, the more they intend to mimic each other’s speech prosody. It supports that mimicry in speech is part of social interaction and that it may be implemented into spoken dialogue systems in order to improve their efficiency.
