Hyperarticulation of Corrections in Multilingual Dialogue Systems

This present paper aims at answering the question whether there are distinctive cross-linguistic differences associated with hyperarticulated speech in correction dialogue acts. The objective is to assess the effort for adaptation of a multilingual dialogue system in 9 different languages, regarding the recovery strategies, particularly corrections. If the presence of hyperarticulation significantly differs across languages, it will have a significant impact on the dialogue design and recovery strategies.
