Análisis prosódico de un corpus de habla experimental: interrogativas absolutas con expansión en el objeto vs sin expansión

Abstract

This paper is a new result of the investigation that the research group Profondis (Group of Phonetics) of the Laboratory of Phonetics of the University of La Laguna is doing as part of the Project AMPER-Can (Atlas Multimedia de Prosodia del Espacio Románico in the Canary Islands). The primary objective of this work is the acoustic analysis of an experimental corpus of absolute interrogatives of the SVO-type with an extension of the object belonging to the two capital Canary Islands, that is, Tenerife (TF) and Gran Canaria (GC) and the validation of the prosodic results by means of a test of perception. On the other hand, we compare these results with those obtained in a previous work in which, with the same methodology, a corpus of SVO interrogatives without extension are analysed. The comparison between the two islands and between the two types of sentences studied proves that the Canarian interrogative model resembles, from a prosodic viewpoint, the Caribbean speech.
