Accordingly in this entry we will consider the relations among speech acts and: semantic content, grammatical mood, speaker-meaning, logically perfect languages, perlocutions, performatives, presuppositions, and implicature.
Several hunded people went along; and like others I've been to, the mood of speakers and audience was an amalgam of Obama-style "yes we can" and austerity-era "I'm afraid we won't".
Others will depend on higher level information, such as phrase type, intention, speaker mood, etc.
The API is a tool for getting real-time feedback on the mood of a speaker, which has any number of interesting use cases.
The audience of roughly 150 investors and money managers was unusually receptive to the bearish mood of the speakers, with questions mostly focusing on how far and fast a decline might be.
Emotion conveys important information about a speaker's mood or personality, which makes it an ideal choice for improving human-machine interaction [1].
Due to the absence of morphological inflections of the subjunctive mood in Chinese, Chinese speakers use contextual information to disambiguate conditional statements from hypothetical, imaginative, or counterfactual meanings (Liu 1985; see Rafetseder and Perner 2010 in English classification).
Overall, though, the mood was buoyant, with keynote speaker Ann-Janine Murtagh, executive publisher at HarperCollins Children's, insisting there had never been a better time to work in children's publishing.
The former term is employed here in the sense in which it was employed above (i.e., in opposition to "cognitive"); it is characteristic of stress, intonation, and other suprasegmental aspects of language that they are frequently expressive of the mood and attitude of the speaker in this sense.
The cognitive function of language refers to its employment for the transmission of factual information; by expressive function is meant the indication of the mood or attitude of the speaker (or writer); and by the conative function of language is meant its use for influencing the person one is addressing or for bringing about some practical effect.
Over the summer, an Israeli firm called Beyond Verbal raised millions of dollars in funding; its vice president described how its software can "understand a speaker's transient mood and emotional decision-making characteristics in real time", by analysing the modulations of the voice.
