Abstract

This article reports the results of two experiments investigating the combined role of vowel length and length of fricative voicing in the identification, by Brazilians, of minimal pairs such as casa /z/ – caca /s/ produced by speakers of Spanish (L1). In Experiment 1, stimuli were manipulated so that length of voicing in the fricative was tested in two levels (100% or 0% of voicing) and vowel length was tested in four levels (25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the length of the total vowel). In Experiment 2, voicing length was tested in three levels (25%, 50% and 75% of voicing), combined with the four levels of vowel length (25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the length of the total vowel). Both experiments were run on TP Software (Rauber et al. 2012), and forty Brazilian listeners with no experience with Spanish took part in both tasks. The results show an interaction between the two cues, especially in the stimuli with no full voicing in the fricative. These findings provide additional evidence to the gradient status of speech in production and perceptual phenomena (Albano 2001; Albano 2012; Perozzo 2017), besides shedding light on the teaching of Brazilian Portuguese as an Additional Language.
听巴西葡萄牙语的重音:关于摩擦音和元音持续时间在识别母语西班牙语的/s/ - /z/最小音对中的作用
本文报告了两个实验的结果,研究了元音长度和擦音发音长度在巴西人识别西班牙语使用者(L1)产生的最小对(如casa/z/–caca/s/)中的综合作用。在实验1中,刺激被操纵,使得在两个级别(100%或0%的发音)中测试擦音的发音长度,并且在四个级别(总元音长度的25%、50%、75%和100%)中测试元音长度。在实验2中,将发声长度分为三个级别(发声的25%、50%和75%),并结合元音长度的四个级别(总元音长度的25%、50%、75%和100%)进行测试。这两项实验都是在TP软件上进行的(Rauber等人,2012),40名没有西班牙语经验的巴西听众参与了这两项任务。结果表明,这两种线索之间存在相互作用,尤其是在摩擦音中没有全音的刺激下。这些发现为言语在产生和感知现象中的梯度状态提供了额外的证据(Albano 2001;Albano 2012;Perozzo 2017),此外还揭示了巴西葡萄牙语作为一种附加语言的教学。
