Speaker identity, not language, drives charismatic prosody in bilingual speeches

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new study published on arXiv investigates the influence of language versus speaker identity on charismatic speech patterns. Researchers analyzed speeches from 10 politicians delivering comparable content in both Luxembourgish and French, extracting 41 acoustic-prosodic features. The findings indicate that speaker identity was the primary driver of vocal charisma variance, with language playing a secondary role. Specific prosodic differences were observed, with French productions showing features associated with politeness and respect, while Luxembourgish productions exhibited a more vocally present profile, aligning with their respective sociolinguistic roles.
