Especially, the intonation reveals details about the speakers communicative relation and their attitude towards the ongoing dialogue. Since the intonation is influenced by semantic and grammatical information, it is advisable to investigate the intonation of so-called discourse particles (DPs) as “hm” or “uhm”. They cannot be inflected but can be emphasised. DPs have the same intonation curves (pitch-contours) as whole sentences and thus may indicate the same functional meanings. For German language J. E. Schmidt empirically discovered seven types of form-function-concurrences on the isolated DP “hm”. To determine the function within the dialogue of the DPs, methods are needed that preserve pitch-contours and are feasible to assign defined form-prototypes. Furthermore, it must be investigated which pitch-contours occur in naturalistic HCI and whether these contours are congruent with the findings by linguists. In this paper we present first results on the extraction and correlation of the DP “hm”. We investigate the different form-function-relations in the naturalistic LAST MINUTE corpus and determine expectable form-function relations in naturalistic HCI in general. %@ 978-3-319-04128-5
