Compassion, Authority and Baby Talk: Prosody and Objectivity
Recent work on multimodal argumentation (Kjeldsen, 2014) has explored facets of argumentation which have no obvious analogue in the written arguments which were emphasized in traditional accounts of argument. One of these facets is prosody: the structure and quality of the sound of spoken language. Prosodic features of oral communication include pitch, temporal structure, pronunciation, loudness and voice quality, emphasis and accent. Kišiček, 2014 has demonstrated the key role such features can play in spoken argument. In this paper, we build on the work of Kišiček and others in an exploration of the different ways that prosodic features may be invoked in arguing. We base our discussion on Groarke & Tindale, 2012, who provide an account of the different roles that non-verbal elements like pictures can play in argument: functioning as flags, demonstrations, symbols, metaphors, and ways to communicate premises and conclusions. We provide a range of examples that show that prosodic elements can play all these roles in argument. In doing so, we illustrate the way that prosodic elements communicate compassion, authority, affection and condescension. In response to the conference theme, we aim to expand traditional notions of “objectivity” and bias, arguing that we must answer the question whether a spoken argument is objective and unbiased by considering, not only on what is said, but how it is said from a prosodic point of view.
