Fostering User Engagement: Rhetorical Devices for Applause Generation Learnt from TED Talks. |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
One problem that every presenter faces when delivering a public discourse is how to hold the listenersu0027 attentions or to keep them involved. Therefore, many studies in conversation analysis work on this issue and suggest qualitatively con-structions that can effectively lead to audienceu0027s applause. To investigate these proposals quantitatively, in this study we an-alyze the transcripts of 2,135 TED Talks, with a particular fo-cus on the rhetorical devices that are used by the presenters for applause elicitation. Through conducting regression anal-ysis, we identify and interpret 24 rhetorical devices as triggers of audience applauding. We further build models that can rec-ognize applause-evoking sentences and conclude this work with potential implications. |
