Acoustic characteristics of Italian Parkinsonian speech: a study on early-stage patients

The aim of the current study is to test the validity of two acoustic parameters - %V and VtoV - for the detection of rhythmical variation in early-stage PD speech, in comparison to healthy speech. 40 Italian native speakers were enrolled in the research, 20 early-stage PD subjects and 20 neurologically healthy and matched controls, and a corpus of read speech was collected. The results of voice analysis confirmed an alteration of vocalic duration and %V in PD productions. In particular, %V could be a reliable cue for PD speech characterization, even at the very early onset of the disease.

If spontaneous speech on the one hand guarantees data authenticity, on the other hand does not allow to control the variables affecting spoken communication. Recited speech allows to control the verbal content of emotional productions and obtain easily comparable data. Dubbed speech represents another feasible alternative. The task of a dubber is to use a different language to vehiculate the same emotional state expressed in the original version, to sound as natural as possible. The present study has twofold objective: firstly it aims to describe the prosodic characteristics of dubbed speech, to evaluate its effectiveness for the cross-linguistic analysis of vocal emotions; secondly it is intended to verify if romance and non-romance languages present similar prosodic patterns in the expression of different emotional states. To reach these goals, sequences taken fr...

La competenza prosodica nell’italiano parlato di sordi nativi e stranieri

Perceptual competence and persuasiveness: L1 and L2 compared

In particular, we chose spontaneous argumentative speech, which implies the perlocutionary act of convincing, in order to investigate the relationship between the degree of persuasiveness of a speaker and the prosodic features characterizing her/his speech, in relation to the perceptual competence of non-native learners. A corpus of argumentative speech in L1 and L2 Italian has been collected. For the corpus in L1, 8 Italians, divided into two groups, were asked to take part in a debate and argue for or against a specific topic. The aim was to convince an audience of 19 Italians, who evaluated the persuasiveness of each speaker, judging it as "positive" or "negative". For the corpus in L2 Italian, we carried out the same procedure with 10 Chinese learners of Italian, who argued (5 pros, 5 cons) in front of an audience made...
