Abstract
In everyday conversations, we are not only paying attention to what the words mean but also how the words are expressed. For example, when a colleague just dropped by our office and said “Coffee?” with a vocal pitch rise, we probably would know in an eyeblink that this is an invitation to have some coffee together – more than simple information about a hot tasty drink in the kitchen.
