In this paper, we put to the test the validity of the theory of isochrony using data from Chilean Spanish. Spanish has been historically classified as syllable-timed, meaning its basic unit of prosody is the syllable. However, recent studies have shown that different methods of elicitation can have a significant effect on rhythm metrics (i.e., Arva...
Resumen
Introducción
El objetivo de esta investigación es implementar y validar un código de programación que ejecuta, en una muestra de habla digitalizada, los procedimientos necesarios para calcular automáticamente cuatro indicadores cuantitativos del rendimiento diadococinético: el promedio de sílabas por segundo, el coeficiente de variabilidad...
Ya desde el siglo XIX, el castellano chileno generó interés en lingüistas como Lenz (1891), quien lo aclamó como un geolecto dinámico y en constante evolución. Más recientemente, un grupo importante de lingüistas contemporáneos ha indicado que existe una gran cantidad de diferencias entre el castellano de Chile y otras variedades en varios frentes...
This article presents a descriptive study whose purpose is to determine whether rhythm in read-aloud speech from professionals of eight different Chilean cities matches the traditional classification given to Spanish as a syllable-timed language, grouping which is also normally extended to all Romance languages. Several studies have stated that Spa...
La presente investigación tiene como objetivo realizar un estudio descriptivo, cuyo propósito es analizar y determinar si el comportamiento rítmico del habla en lectura en voz alta de personas profesionales de ocho ciudades diferentes de Chile coincide con la clasificación dada históricamente al español de lengua de ritmo silábico, clasificación qu...
Abstract: A quantitative exploratory study that aims to determine the influence of the pragmatic value variable in the absolute length of stressed vowel (phoneme / i /) present in appreciative suffix -ito in Chilean Spanish is presented in this article. A protocol with several samples of the different pragmatic uses of the diminutive suffix in cont...
A quantitative exploratory study that aims to determine the influence of the pragmatic value variable in the absolute length of stressed vowel (phoneme / i /) present in appreciative suffix -ito in Chilean Spanish is presented in this article. A protocol with several samples of the different pragmatic uses of the diminutive suffix in context was cr...
Históricamente se han asociado, desde posiciones más bien intuitivas, ciertas características de habla con la identidad de comunidades con una orientación sexual no heterosexual, espacio desde el cual también se configuran factores que emanan desde el binarismo de lo masculino y lo femenino. A partir de la década de 1990, la comunidad científica se...
El objetivo de este artículo es exponer los resultados de un estudio normativo del rendimiento articulatorio de individuos chilenos normales, medido con los cinco parámetros que entrega el protocolo de rendimiento diadococinético del programa Motor Speech Profile de KayPentax. La intención es proporcionar a la comunidad fonoaudiológica valores de r...
RESUMEN Este artículo da cuenta de un estudio en el cual, por medio de la aplicación de una encuesta de apreciación subjetiva, se pretende explorar si personas de distintos lugares del país son capaces de identificar diferencias diatópicas mediante la escucha de la pronunciación de hablantes cultos en situación formal. Los resultados muestran que l...
The aim of this study was to explore whether speakers from different parts of the country can identify diatopic differences in the pronunciation of educated speakers in formal situations (interview and reading). The data was collected through a survey of subjective assessment. Results show that the geographical origin of the speakers is not recogni...
In spite of the claims that have been made about Spanish in general in almost all the bibliography, recent studies have proven that a labiodental allophone of /b/ can be found in Chilean Spanish rather frequently. In order to determine whether there is an influence of writing and literacy in the use of [v], and if it is either a natural or stilted...
The aim of this study was to acoustically analyse equational clauses
produced by native speakers of Chilean Spanish; the recordings were
obtained from popular TV and radio programs. The melodic pattern
of the syntactic structures for cleft, pseudo cleft and reversed pseudo
cleft sentences will be described. These sentences are characterised by
the...
En este estudio se hace un análisis cuantitativo de la incidencia de la variable estilo en la ocurrencia de las tres variantes, que históricamente se han identificado en el español de Chile, de los fonemas que componen la serie /b-d-g/ cuando estos se dan en posición intervocálica y así determinar el estatus sociolingüístico de dichas variantes. Se...
This study is a quantitative analysis of the influence of style variable over realization of three historical variants in Chilean Spanish of /s/ phoneme, in order to determine the sociolinguistic status of each them. A sample of speech taken from news programs of Chilean television was used as the corpus. Besides, a clear procedure of spectrographi...
En este artículo se exponen los resultados de un recuento de frecuencia de fonemas en un corpus
oral de lectura de noticias en la televisión chilena. Además dichos resultados se comparan con
cuatro investigaciones del mismo tipo realizadas para otros dialectos del español. El corpus está
constituido por 15.649 palabras (3.281 diferentes), lo que eq...
One of the most important problems of classic phonology has been to deter- mine which should be the nature of the distinctive feature. The production and perception process of speech sounds includes at least three dimensions: physiological, physical and perceptual. There is not consensus that phonological features should be defined by theoretical,...
The aim of this paper is to describe the design, implementation and evaluation of an automatic module for phonetic transcription. Such module can take as input any Spanish text and yields as output a string of ASCII characters equivalent to the phonemes of Spanish.
The aim of this research is to determine the degree of influence of the features that oppose the /p-t-k/ and /b-d-g/ series in their discrimination according to descriptive studies. The operational validity of each feature regarding its relative simplicity, its independence of other parameters, and its adjustment to speech analysis and synthesis me...
