Modeling Sarcastic Speech: Semantic and Prosodic Cues in a Speech Synthesis Framework

Zhu Li, Yuqing Zhang, Xiyuan Gao +2

Sarcasm is a pragmatic phenomenon in which speakers convey meanings that diverge from literal content, relying on an interaction between semantics and prosodic expression. However,…

Evaluating Multimodal Large Language Models on Spoken Sarcasm Detection

Zhu Li, Xiyuan Gao, Yuqing Zhang +2

Sarcasm detection remains challenging because sarcastic intent often depends on information across text, speech, and vision. We systematically evaluate large language models (LLMs)…

A Functional Trade-off between Prosodic and Semantic Cues in Conveying Sarcasm

Zhu Li, Xiyuan Gao, Yuqing Zhang +2

This study investigates the acoustic features of sarcasm and disentangles the interplay between the propensity of an utterance being used sarcastically and the presence of prosodic…
