Perception of emotional speech in Brazilian Portuguese : an intonational and multidimensional approach
نویسنده
چکیده
L’objectif de cet article est d’analyser la perception que des sujets parlants brésiliens et anglais (sans connaissances du portugais) ont de la parole émotionnelle en portugais brésilien (PB), en utilisant un modèle tridimensionnel de l’émotion. Les résultats des jugements faits par les participants ont été comparés aux paramètres acoustiques de l’intonation, extraits par le logiciel ExProsodia. (Ferreira Netto, 2008, 2010). Des régressions linéaires simples et multiples ont été réalisées, ayant pour objectif de savoir comment le jugement des participants et les paramètres acoustiques de l’intonation peuvent être reliés. Les résultats ont montré que les paramètres intonationnels peuvent prédire les degrés de perception d’activation et de dominance de la parole émotionnelle en PB.
