Abstract

The aim of the present work is to reflect how the melodic features of spanish spoken by brazilians, by their resemblance to those identified as polite features in spanish, provoke a brazilian to be easily interpreted as a polite, sympathetic and affable speaker when he meets a speaker spanish, because its prelinguistic intonation contains a great number of traits identified as politeness in spanish.
