“…Power analyses for mixed models ( Judd et al, 2016 ) were performed to determine the required number of participants. Large effects of prosody and verbal content were reported in previous studies with similar procedures ( Caballero et al, 2018 ; Mauchand et al, 2020 ). Due to the large number of stimuli ( n = 320), less than 25 participants were required to attain power over 99% for these effects.…”

“…Results of the mediation analysis suggest that mean F0 was by far the most important acoustic parameter in mediating the effect of Prosody; complainers increased their mean pitch, which was perceived as more complaining by listeners. Fundamental frequency is known to be the most directly accessible marker of affect for listeners, and is modulated in both a discrete and continuous manner to express basic emotions ( Frick, 1985 ; Grandjean et al, 2006 ; Eyben et al, 2016 ) and attitudes ( Jiang and Pell, 2017 ; Caballero et al, 2018 ; Mauchand et al, 2018 ; Truesdale and Pell, 2018 ). Increased F0 mean also marks non-aggressivity and is central to affiliative behaviors as described by the Frequency code ( Ohala, 1984 ; Gussenhoven, 2004 ), which could explain its central importance in the production and perception of complaints.…”

“…In expressive speech acts, the role of prosody is traditionally described as an indirect, illocutionary force that can only convey meaning with the appropriate verbal statement ( Grice, 1989 ; Wichmann, 2000 ). However, recent studies suggest that prosody alone can reveal the intentions of a speaker in a powerful manner ( Hellbernd and Sammler, 2016 ; Caballero et al, 2018 ; Truesdale and Pell, 2018 ). For example, in motivating and persuasive speech, prosody can “tag” verbal information as important and increase the persuasiveness of a speaker even when the verbal information is not credible ( Zougkou et al, 2017 ; Van Zant and Berger, 2020 ).…”

Emotive speech is a social act in which a speaker displays emotional signals with a specific intention; in the case of third-party complaints, this intention is to elicit empathy in the listener. The present study assessed how the emotivity of complaints was perceived in various conditions. Participants listened to short statements describing painful or neutral situations, spoken with a complaining or neutral prosody, and evaluated how complaining the speaker sounded. In addition to manipulating features of the message, social-affiliative factors which could influence complaint perception were varied by adopting a cross-cultural design: participants were either Québécois (French Canadian) or French and listened to utterances expressed by both cultural groups. The presence of a complaining tone of voice had the largest effect on participant evaluations, while the nature of statements had a significant, but smaller influence. Marginal effects of culture on explicit evaluation of complaints were found. A multiple mediation analysis suggested that mean fundamental frequency was the main prosodic signal that participants relied on to detect complaints, though most of the prosody effect could not be linearly explained by acoustic parameters. These results highlight a tacit agreement between speaker and listener: what characterizes a complaint is how it is said (i.e., the tone of voice), more than what it is about or who produces it. More generally, the study emphasizes the central importance of prosody in expressive speech acts such as complaints, which are designed to strengthen social bonds and supportive responses in interactive behavior. This intentional and interpersonal aspect in the communication of emotions needs to be further considered in research on affect and communication.

“…Terlebih pada hal penolakan, harus sangat berhati-hati dalam memilih kosakata. Kata yang harus ditanamkan pada anak yaitu kata "tolong", "maaf", dan "terimakasih" (Caballero et al, 2018). Kata tersebut akan mengajarkan anak sopan santun dengan menghargai orang lain.…”

Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengkaji tentang penanaman sikap sopan santun anak usia dini dalam budaya Jawa. Metode yang dilakukan menggunkan penelitian kualitatif yang bersifat studi pustaka. Sopan santun saat ini lebih buruk dibandingkan dengan zaman dulu, dilihat dari anak-anak sekarang tidak bisa basa. Sopan santun dalam hal berbahasa saat ini sangat perlu diperhatikan. Bahasa Jawa saat ini hampir punah. Bahasa jawa memiliki ciri khas mengenai tingkatan berbahasa yaitu basa ngoko, basa krama madyo, dan basa krama inggil. Penanaman sikap sopan santun dalam berbahasa dilakukan pada saat anak usia dini melalui pembiasaan dan modeling dari orang dewasa dalam berbahasa jawa yang baik dan benar pada kehidupan sehari-hari di lingkungan keluarga, sekolah maupun masyarakat. Penggunaan bahasa jawa dikatakan baik dan benar yaitu sesuai dengan tata karma (gaya bahasa), andhap-asor (merendahkan diri sembari meninggikan orang lain), dan tanggap ing sasmita (mampu menangkap makna yang tersembunyi). Ketiga konsep budaya tersebut saling keterkaitan dalam hal sikap sopan santun seseorang dalam budaya Jawa.

Jane Eyre’s novel was published in 1847 written by (Charlotte, 1983), in the early years of the Victorian period. This research sample is all of the communication strategies of warning that find in the novel Jane Eyre. It can be informed of dialogue between characters or inform of phrases and words related to politeness and communication strategies (Brown & Levinson, 1987). The results show that each character of Jane Eyre can be different from one to another in delivering a warning statement. They tend to give greetings before warning their addressee to respect the addressee, give information or advice toward the addressee, or impose the addressee with a threatening word. Based on basis finding data from 65 forms of speech acts of warning, it is concluded that Brown and Levinson’s communication strategies exist in the way of characters’ communication in warning their hearer. The strategies are classified into four strategies; bald on the record appear 8 times or 12,3%, positive politeness appears 32 times or 46,2%, negative politeness appears 18 times or 28,6%, and off the record appear 7 times 10,7%. Positive politeness strategy is the most frequent strategy used by characters with the elaboration of several sub-strategies. The sub- strategy most often used is to give reason 7 times or 10.7%.
