한국 텔레비전 대담방송 영상에 있어서의 발화자 등장 비율 －표정을 기준으로－

Abstract

This study aimed to measure the rate of speaker appearances by examining video footage of individualized interviews from the television program, Tales of Modern Korean History: TV Autobiographies. The appearance rate was calculated based on the possibility of observing the speaker’s facial expressions. Speakers appeared in approximately 80 per cent of all conversations, however, the ratio varied according to the role of the speaker and type of speech. The conversations were classified into three speech categories: expressing agreement, questioning, and expressing neutral opinions. The rate of expression of agreement was the lowest compared to the other categories while the rate for questioning was similar to that of expression of neutral opinions. Moreover, the rate of speaker appearance for all categories was higher for the interviewee than the interviewer. The proportion of a person’s appearance within the video footage also differs for the interviewer and interviewee, with a full body shot of the speaker often used at the beginning of the questioning process. Additional studies need to be conducted on other television programs, to confirm the generalization of this trend specific to Korean interview-based television programs.
