New research analyzes politician speech patterns across four Slavic languages

A new research paper details three studies on spoken parliamentary speech across four Slavic languages: Croatian, Czech, Polish, and Serbian. The research analyzed over 6,000 hours of speech from the ParlaSpeech 3.0 corpus. Findings indicate that negative speech is delivered with higher pitch, intensity, and speed, and that filled pause frequency is influenced by speech rate, age, and sentiment, with gender effects varying between South and West Slavic parliaments. The study also examined primary stress variations in Croatian, revealing speaker-specific preferences for early versus late stress. AI
