Resumo: | The following study aims at examining prosodic thresholds of perception for Spanish, parting from the algorithm of analysis offered by the Prosodic Analysis of Speech (PAS) model by Cantero (2019). The approach is based on defining the prosodic values for each syllable after a process of standardization, by relativizing the prosodic value associated with each syllable to that of the preceding one. As the perception threshold in the case of melody was defined as 10% for Spanish (FONT-ROTCHÉS; MATEO RUIZ, 2011), this research investigates, by the help of an anonymous perceptive test submitted to 30 native Spanish speakers, what prosodic relative values of intensity and duration change with respect to the previous syllable make a syllable perceived as prosodically prominent. The informants of the test had to decide whether in an invented Spanish word syllables with different range of increase in intensity or duration result in perceptibility as far as prosodic prominence is concerned, and whether these prosodic cues contribute to stress identification. As for the results, a 30% of increase in duration with respect to the previous syllable is already perceivable, but intensity growth of 5% is not, and neither of these thresholds trigger automatically stress identification. The results of the research can be used as a point of reference in speech synthesis programs. |

A abordagem baseia-se na definição dos valores prosódicos de cada sílaba após um processo de padronização, relativizando o valor prosódico associado a cada sílaba ao da anterior. Como o limiar de percepção no caso da melodia foi definido como 10% para o espanhol (Font-Rotchés; Mateo Ruiz, 2011), esta pesquisa investiga, por meio de um teste perceptivo anônimo submetido a 30 falantes nativos de espanhol, quais os valores relativos prosódicos de intensidade e a mudança de duração em relação à sílaba anterior tornam uma sílaba percebida como prosodicamente proeminente. Os informantes do teste tiveram que decidir se em uma palavra inventada em espanhol sílabas com diferentes amplitudes de aumento de intensidade ou duração resultam em perceptibilidade respeito à proeminência prosódica e se essas pistas prosódicas contribuem para a identificação do acento. Quanto aos resultados, já é perceptível um aumento de 30% na duração em relação à sílaba anterior, mas um aumento de intensidade de 5% não, e nenhum desses limiares aciona automaticamente a identificação do acento. Os resultados da pesquisa podem ser usados como ponto de referência em programas de síntese de fala.Associação Brasileira de Linguística2022-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://revista.abralin.org/index.php/abralin/article/view/207710.25189/rabralin.v21i2.2077Revista da ABRALIN; V. 21, N. 2 (2022); 193-208Revista da ABRALIN; V. 21, N. 2 (2022); 193-2080102-715810.25189/rabralin.v21i2reponame:Revista da ABRALIN (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR)instacron:UFPRporhttps://revista.abralin.org/index.php/abralin/article/view/2077/2692Copyright (c) 2022 Kata Baditzné Pálvölgyihttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBaditzné Pálvölgyi, Kata2023-05-04T19:01:50Zoai:ojs.revista.ojs.abralin.org:article/2077Revistahttps://revista.abralin.org/index.php/abralinPUBhttps://revista.abralin.org/index.php/abralin/oairkofreitag@uol.com.br || ra@abralin.org2178-76031678-1805opendoar:2023-05-04T19:01:50Revista da ABRALIN (Online) - Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR)false |
