the analysis of the role of the speech acts theory in translating and dubbing hollywood films

از محوری ترین اثراتی که یک فیلم سینمایی ایجاد می کند دیالوگ هایی است که هنرپیش گان فیلم میگویند. به زعم یک فیلم ساز, یک شیوه متأثر نمودن مخاطب از اثر منظوره نیروی گفتارهای گوینده, مثل نیروی عاطفی, ترس آور, غم انگیز, هیجان انگیز و غیره, است. این مطالعه به بررسی این مسأله مبادرت کرده است که آیا نیروی فراگفتاری هنرپیش گان به مثابه ی اعمال گفتاری در پنج فیلم هالیوودی در نسخه های دوبله شده باز تولید...

Variability and Constancy in the Articulation and Acoustics of

Distinguishing Dysarthric Speech: Vowel Acoustics and Measurement

Centralization of vowel formants has been associated with reduced intelligibility in healthy speakers and those with motor speech disorders [1-3]. Hence, estimations of speakers’ vowel space area (VSA) provide a promising avenue for assessing speech motor control. However, VSA measurements have traditionally demonstrated limited success in distinguishing healthy and disordered speech [1, 3]. On...

Variability in English vowels is comparable in articulation and acoustics.

The nature of the links between speech production and perception has been the subject of longstanding debate. The present study investigated the articulatory parameter of tongue height and the acoustic F1-F0 difference for the phonological distinction of vowel height in American English front vowels. Multiple repetitions of /i, ɪ, e, ε, æ/ in [(h)Vd] sequences were recorded in seven adult speak...
