Características acústico-prosódicas del discurso reportado en el español de Venezuela
Keywords:
reported speech, prosody, Venezuelan SpanishAbstract
This paper presents the results of a research study analyzing the acoustic-prosodic characteristics of reported speech in Venezuelan Spanish in a speech sample of twenty male and female voices from different regions of Venezuela, from which 48 utterances were extracted. After the analysis, it was noted that, from a prosodic point of view, reported speech is characterized by starting with a higher tone than the previous tone in discourse and by having greater intensity than the discourse corresponding to the «speaker’s» voice. These differents prosodic marks which characterize reported speech are used by the participants in the communicative act with an interactive purpose. Data obtained in the study suggest that the speaker marks discourse boundaries (beginning and ending) of the «other» prosodically and that these marks are usually perceived by the interlocutors facilitating communicative interaction.
