Paralinguistic Paraphrase Corpus

---

Overview

---

The Paralinguistic Paraphrase Corpus contains 3423 English spoken phrases (focused: 2835, without focus: 588) recorded by 9 British native English speakers and 1697 English paraphrases, which reflect the corresponding implications.

Here are some example data in the corpus:

Original text (focused word underlined)	Focused utterance	Paraphrase
A biker enjoys a coffee		There is one biker enjoying a coffee
A biker enjoys a coffee		The person enjoying a coffee is a biker

They were collected in 2022 to investigate the possibility of mapping paralinguistic cues, how it is said, into the linguistic information, what is said. For a description of the corpus, see:
