En este episodio, vamos a ver qué son las paralinguistic features (siguiendo la teoría de Harmer y Brown), qué tipos existen y qué características tienen.
A continuación, la lista de paralinguistic features (recordar que no es importante mencionar las formas normales de cada una, las pongo solo para establecer los grados de desviacion de la norma):
Pitch span (the amount of movement in the pitch of the voice)
-Extended pitch span / Normal pitch span / Restricted pitch span
Placing in Voice Range (each individual voice has a range in which they speak)
- Squeaky / High Placing in Voice Range / Normal PVR / Low Placing in Voice Range / Growl
Tempo (speed of delivery of a message)
-Rapid or fast tempo / Normal tempo / Slow tempo
Loudness (the size of the amplitude of the vibration)
-Loud voice or loudness / Normal voice / Soft voice or softness
Voice setting (adjustments in the vocal cords which bring about various effects of the voice)
- Creaky voice / Normal voice /Breathy voice (remember: no vibration of the vocal cords)
Articulatory Setting (amount of tenseness of the articulatory tract)
- Tense articulatory setting / Normal articulatory setting
Articulatory Precision (amount of precision of articulation)
Precise articulation / Normal Art / Slurred articulation (alcoholic speech)
Timing in Segments / Syllables (extend a syllable or segment)
-Extended timing of segments or syllables (drawling) / Normal timing
Lip setting (the posture of the lips affects the sound of the spoken message)
