Consequências da composição corporal na produção do Português Europeu: estudo de resultados preliminares

Resumo

We found that production parameters of a European Portuguese corpus are influenced by body composition: more prominently in the frequency parameters (f0, DP f0 and formants), perturbation parameters and noise parameters, for vowel segments [a] and [i]. We concluded that extralinguistic patterns of voice quality were significantly correlated with body composition and somatotype. The vocal quality characterization of a speaker can allow the identification of his particular phonetic settings and the use of his anatomic mechanism, during speech.
