Dynamic multi-cue weighting in the perception of Spanish intonation
Human self-domestication and the evolution of prosody
Human self-domestication refers to a new evolutionary hypothesis about human origins. According to this view, humans have experienced changes that are similar to those observed in domesticated mammals and that have provided us with many of the behavioural, and perhaps cognitive pre-requisites for supporting our complex social practices and advanced culture. At the core of this hypothesis is the claim that self-domestication is triggered by (and e…
Aportación relativa de las modalidades interrogativa y declarativa a las clasificaciones dialectométricas
El presente artículo busca aportar datos empíricos a una afirmación repetida en la dialectología del español: que las interrogativas son más útiles que las declarativas para diferenciar dialectos. Con el afán de comprobar tal aserto, se ha analizado el coeficiente de correlación de los contornos entonativos de cada modalidad, lo que verifica cuál aporta más diferencias en dos corpus. Uno de ellos dispone de siete puntos de encuesta del español (1…
La modalidad interrogativa en español y en chino
Este artículo presenta un análisis contrastivo de la modalidad interrogativa en español y en chino a partir de un marco teórico funcional-pragmático. A través del estudio, se muestra en primer lugar que la modalidad interrogativa no desempeña solo la función prototípica de solicitar información, sino que sirve para finalidades comunicativas diversas, tales como confirmar hipótesis, formular ruegos u órdenes, ofrecer objetos o sugerencias, expresa…
The role of intonation in Construction Grammar
Grundzüge der sizilianischen Prosodie
This article is concerned with basic intonational features of Sicilian, a Romance variety spoken in Sicily in Southern Italy. While there has been some research on the intonational features of the regional variety of Italian, Sicilian intonation remains undescribed. The first part of the article provides a historic overview of the dialectal configuration of Sicilian and the Sicilian-Italian diglossia. In the subsequent section we perform an inton…
From a perceptual point of view, is there prosodic continuity between languages in contact
This paper contains the results of a set of perception tests that aimed at measuring perceived prosodic distances between different Romance languages (Italian, Friulian, Sardinian, Catalan, and Spanish). Data were collected within the framework of the AMPER project. The results were obtained by means of discrimination and identification tasks where the judges were 31 native speakers of Catalan form Barcelona and the stimuli were broad focus state…
Prosody as a cue for syntactic dependency. Evidence from dependent and independent clauses with subordination marks in Spanish
Contacto lingüístico y transferencia prosódica bajo una perspectiva diacrónica
The article focuses on some intonational features of three Romance languages spoken in northern Sardinia (Algherese Catalan, Logudorese Sardinian, and the Sardinian regional variety of Italian). The first part of the article shows, by means of both qualitative and quantitative analyses, that the above-mentioned languages share some intonational features that are not present in the dialects of Catalan and Italian spoken in the Iberian Peninsula an…
