  • A qualidade de voz avaliada por meio de descritores impressionísticos e fonéticos: Subsídios para o contexto forense

    Open AccessRafael Scarpelli, Renata Regina Passetti et al.ARTICLEEstudos Linguísticos (São Paulo…2026

    Este estudo avalia a relação entre descritores impressionísticos e fonéticos de qualidade de voz e discute as implicações para exames conduzidos na área de Fonética Forense envolvendo testemunhas auriculares. A metodologia compreendeu o julgamento de um conjunto de vozes por ouvintes com e sem treinamento em fonética e a avaliação dessas vozes por especialistas no uso do Vocal Profile Analysis (VPA). Análise estatística multivariada foi empregada…

  • Fostering phonetic input in the classroom: The case of very young learners acquiring English in a Brazilian bilingual school

    Open AccessThaiza Barros, Sandra MadureiraARTICLELinguistik Online2025

    The quality and quantity of phonetic input are considered the main factors in L2 sound acquisition (cf. Flege 1995; Flege/Bohn 2021; Kuhl 2011). Over the years, many empirical studies have supported the statement that for accurate perception and intelligible pronunciation, learners need to receive robust phonetic input to guide their attention to the acoustic cues used to distinguish L1 sounds from L2 sounds (cf. Flege 1995; Flege/Bohn 2021; Moye…

  • Brazilian Portuguese-Russian (BraPoRus) corpus: Automatic transcription and acoustic quality of elderly speech during the Covid-19 pandemic

    I A Sekerina, Anna Smirnova Henriques et al.ARTICLELinguistics Vanguard2024

    This article presents the Brazilian Portuguese-Russian (BraPoRus) corpus, whose goal is to collect, analyze, and preserve for posterity the spoken heritage Russian still used today in Brazil by approximately 1,500 elderly bilingual heritage Russian–Brazilian Portuguese speakers. Their unique 100-year-old variety of moribund Russian is disappearing because it has not been passed to their descendants born in Brazil. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we…

  • L1-L2 Influence in Intonation: A Case of Russophone Immigrants in Brazil

    Open AccessTatiana Kachkovskaia, Luciana Lucente et al.ARTICLELanguages2024References: 28

    This paper is devoted to the features of sentence prosody (intonation) in Brazilian Portuguese spoken by immigrants whose first language is Russian, and explores the consequences that L1-L2 influence in intonation may have for communication. The study addressed four research questions: (1) Do Brazilian Portuguese L2 speakers with Russian L1 always succeed in producing the correct utterance type? (2) Can L1-L2 influence lead to misunderstanding of…

  • Multimodal impressions of voice quality settings: The role of vocal and visual symbolism

    Open AccessSandra Madureira, Mario A S FontesARTICLEFrontiers in Communication2023

    This study considers instances of voice quality settings under a sound-symbolic and synesthetic perspective, focusing on the auditory impressions these settings might have on listeners' attributions of meaning effects and associations between vocal and visual features related to emotional expression. Three perceptual experiments are carried out. The first experiment examined the impressionistic effects of eight voice quality settings characterize…

  • Braporus, spoken corpus of heritage russian in Brazil: Protocol of Data Collection

    Open AccessAnna Smirnova Henriques, Aleksandra S Skorobogatova et al.ARTICLECadernos de Linguística e Teoria…2022Cited by: 1References: 10

    Heritage speakers represent a special category of bilinguals who are exposed to their first language at home in the childhood, but later acquire the main language of their society that becomes dominant. Brazil has numerous communities of heritage speakers of many languages such as Japanese, German, Italian, Polish, and Ukrainian; however, only few speech corpora are being collected. In the current work, we describe the protocol of the data collec…

    Embora práticas de ciência aberta tenham sido adotadas em diversos campos do conhecimento ao longo dos anos, em larga medida estão concentradas nem campos como as ciências naturais, exatas e computação. Nas Ciências Humanas a migração para a ciência aberta ainda é incipiente. Neste trabalho, apresentamos Portal multimodal/multilíngue para o Avanço da Ciência Aberta nas Humanidades, apoiado pelo CNPq por meio do Edital 25/2020, destinado a ajudar …

  • Verbal working memory assessment in Russian-Brazilian Portuguese bilinguals

    Open AccessAleksandra S Skorobogatova, Anna Smirnova Henriques et al.ARTICLECadernos de Linguística e Teoria…2021Cited by: 2References: 88

    In Brazil, the learning of a second language (L2) by native Brazilian Portuguese speakers has been extensively explored, but studies on language processing and language interaction among bilinguals are quite recent. The late bilingualism of the first-generation immigrants has been studied mainly from the perspective of their difficulties in learning Brazilian Portuguese. Brazil has numerous communities of heritage speakers of many languages such …

  • Russian Accent in Brazilian Portuguese Affects the Perception of Voice Pleasantness by Brazilians

    Open AccessAnna Smirnova Henriques, Sandra MadureiraARTICLERevista X2020

    The field of foreign accents in Brazilian Portuguese is very poorly explored mainly in relation to perceptual impressions caused on listeners by foreign accents. The objective of this paper is to conduct a perceptual experiment to analyze the perception of voice pleasantness in relation to degrees of foreign accent. Our focus is on Russian accented Brazilian Portuguese. Despite the representativeness of the Russian community in Brazil, there are …

  • Russian Immigrants in Brazil: To Understand, to be Understood

    Open AccessAnna Smirnova Henriques, Mario A S Fontes et al.ARTICLECadernos de Linguística e Teoria…2020Cited by: 4References: 42

    While L2 acquisition by Brazilians has been studied for different languages, the acquisition of Brazilian Portuguese by foreigners has been poorly explored. Recent studies of non-native accented speech in other languages have shown that a foreign accent could largely influence the perception of personal qualities of speakers, and this issue presents a large interest for intercultural research projects. Our research project is focused on Russophon…

  • English and Portuguese consonant clusters: Contrasts and Challenges

    Open AccessSandra MadureiraARTICLEDELTA Documentação de Estudos em…2020References: 1

    Consonant clusters occur both in Portuguese and English. However, clusters are more productive in English than in Portuguese and there are sequences which are only found in English.This study focuses on the contrasts between American English and Brazilian Portuguese consonant clusters and on three strategies Brazilian learners tend to apply when producing them: adding the high front vowel (epenthesis) between the consonants in the clusters, disca…

  • A phonetic study of Zootopia characters' voices in Brazilian Portuguese dubbing: The Role of Stereotypes

    Open AccessAlice Crochiquia, Åsa Eriksson et al.ARTICLEDELTA Documentação de Estudos em…2020References: 14

    This work comprises an experimental investigation approach of expressive speech that integrates methodological procedures of perceptual and acoustic analyses. As the object of this work, we have focused on voice quality and vocal dynamics. Speech samples from the four main personality-distinct characters in the animated feature film "Zootopia" dubbed by Brazilian voice actors have been analysed. Due to the expressive function of voice quality, we…

  • Dimensões perceptivas das alterações de qualidade vocal e suas correlações aos planos da acústica e da fisiologia

    Open AccessZuleica Antonia De Camargo, Zuleica Camargo et al.ARTICLEDELTA Documentação de Estudos em…2009References: 27

    O presente estudo fundamenta-se na necessidade de compreensão de mecanismos compensatórios usados por indivíduos portadores de alterações da qualidade vocal (disfonias). O objetivo foi investigar amostras de vozes com alterações da qualidade vocal por procedimentos perceptivo-auditivos (qualidade vocal e reconhecimento de fala), acústicos (análise de curto e de longo termo) e fisiológicos (eletroglotografia-EGG, videolaringoestroboscopia e videoq…
