Intragender Conversations
Yuka and Mao
The participants in this discussion are engaged and happy, laughter being often noted throughout the discussion. While minimal responses are common, there is an equal number of longer and more descriptive replies. Yuka has a high number of words, 729 compared to 234 words for Mao, but she does have a lot of meaningless syllables, 45. MLRs are high for Yuka 17.5 but Mao’s speech is rather limited to 5.4 MLRs. The percentage of silence is low though to 13.2 seconds or 2.2%.
Ayaka and Nanami
The discussion starts off lively, and both participants are engaged. Speaking rate is 109.1 for Ayaka and 114.6 for Nanami. However, MLRs are very short, 5.4 and 7.6 syllables though part of this is due to the high number of minimal responses, though the number of words is slightly higher than normal, 349 for Ayaka and 430 for Nanami. We do see a high rate of meaningless syllables for both participants, which is a bit unusual for female speakers.
