This project aims to study the joint variabilities of the respiratory activity, the jaw movement and the prosodic-acoustic parameters in the interpretation of prose and poetry texts. To this end, the patterns of chest and abdominal expansion and mandibular movement will be characterized when reading prose and poetry texts with different interpretations and their relationship with the soun…
Dr. Philippe Boula de Mareüil will collaborate with the project "Prosodic acoustic analysis of spontaneous and ironic speech" (grant CNPq 302657/2015-0 from March 2016 to February 2020). The main goal of this project is the acoustic characterization of spontaneous speech and irony in acted speech. The second group of research activities of this large project is the description of melodic …
This project proposes to analyze a parallel recording of both forensic and lab speech by means of three main techniques: sociophonetic, acoustic-phonetic and perceptual. The parallel corpus includes recordings from forensic cases from the database of the Escola Superior do Ministério Público de São Paulo, a close-copy of this recording obtained in high signal-to-noise ratio conditions as …

Here we propose an investigation of the interaction between the durational and melodic domains in the prosodic realization of terminal and non-terminal boundaries, and narrow informational focus, in a corpus composed of recordings of informal interviews with 5 men and 5 women, native speakers of Brazilian Portuguese. Participants will be recruited to listen to the recordings and indicate …
Speech is complex, dynamic, and produced in a context of variation conditioned by social and biological factors, intrinsically linguistic or external. Any theoretical framework, mathematical modeling, or acoustic measurement is subordinate to this nature. The principle supporting Phonetics and speech science considers that such variation (individual or communal) occurs within a describabl…
Based on the theory of dynamical systems (Barbosa, 2006; Kelso, 1995), this project proposes an integrated study of Brazilian Portuguese prosody in which rhythm and intonation are examined together. By means of computational modeling, our primary objective is to investigate how the curves of fundamental frequency and syllable duration coordinate within utterances to fulfill communicative …
The present study aims to analyze and describe the use of Non-Manual Expressions (NMEs), that is, body movements and facial expression (Baker-Shenk and Cokely, 1980), exercising syntactic/prosodic expression of focus - one of diverse functions that these expressions can assume - in the context of New Information Focus and Contrastive Focus on some signs of the Brazilian Sign Language (BSL…
The earliest cases in which speech was used as forensic evidence date back to the 17th century. Years after with a methodological-technical refinement, the speech analysis of different suspects was called Speaker Comparison (SC). The biggest challenge of SC is that unlike DNA and fingerprints, there is no specific speech characteristic which is biologically determined, unalterable, and in…

This project proposes a 12-month research internship at the University of Cologne under the supervision of Professor Martine Grice, an intonation specialist. Our doctoral research in Brazil aims to model the interplay between syllable duration and fundamental frequency (F0) during information and contrastive narrow focus in Brazilian Portuguese (BP). We intend to expand Barbosa's (2007) c…
The present study aims to analyze and describe non-manual expressions (NMEs) that is, body movements and facial expression (Baker-Shenk & Cokely, 1980) that have functions such as lexical differentiation, participation in syntactic construction and contribution to intensification processes (Paiva et al. 2018), in contexts of intensifying or emphasizing the meaning in some signs of America…
A large body of evidence for the universality of a subset of emotions has been presented over decades of research. However, several studies also showed differences in how some emotions can vary in terms of expression among different cultures. This problem is also evident in the lexicon of the languages, since the way each culture categorizes the antecedent events gives rise to several wor…
This research will analyze the perceptual strategies used by Sweden listeners and Brazilian listeners who live in Sweden for speaker verification in Brazilian Portuguese speech samples in a vocal disguise situation.Samples of Brazilian Portuguese speech will be presented to the two groups of listeners with one vocal disguise followed by a line-up with the target non-modified voice randoml…
