Resumo: Studies show that bilingual speakers can change their voices when they speak an L2 compared to their L1. It remains to be seen whether these differences are perceived by listeners. Thus, the present study addresses the perception of voice quality by Brazilian bilingual listeners in Brazilian Portuguese (PB) and English (IN)  speech samples produced by  Brazilian bilingual speakers. This objective was reached by means of a discrimination test of the PB and IN voices of the same speaker. The listeners judged whether the voices were the same or different, describing their characteristics if they were different. The results pointed to certain variability in the judgments, but also showed that listeners are able to identify differences in pitch and intensity between languages, as well as attribute personality and emotion characteristics to speech in both languages.

Resta saber se essas diferenças são percebidas pelos ouvintes. Assim, o presente estudo aborda a percepção da qualidade de voz por ouvintes brasileiros bilíngues em emissões em português brasileiro (PB) e em inglês (IN) produzidas por falantes também brasileiros e bilíngues. Tal objetivo foi alcançado por meio de um teste de discriminação das vozes em PB e em IN do mesmo falante. Os ouvintes julgaram se as vozes eram iguais ou diferentes, descrevendo suas características caso fossem diferentes. Os resultados apontaram para uma certa variabilidade nos julgamentos, mas também mostraram que os ouvintes são capazes de identificar diferenças de pitch e intensidade entre as línguas, bem como atribuir características de personalidade e emoção à fala nas duas línguas.UFSC2018-09-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2018v71n3p12510.5007/2175-8026.2018v71n3p125Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 71 No. 3 (2018); 125-142Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 71 n. 3 (2018); 125-1422175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2018v71n3p125/37255Copyright (c) 2018 Ana Paula Petriu Ferreira Engelbert, Denise Cristina Klugeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessEngelbert, Ana Paula Petriu FerreiraKluge, Denise Cristina2018-09-20T16:49:34Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/53990Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterroPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/oaiilha@cce.ufsc.br||corseuil@cce.ufsc.br||ilhadodesterro@gmail.com2175-80260101-4846opendoar:2018-09-20T16:49:34Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
