CONTORNOS DE ENTONACIÓN EN EL DISCURSO DE UNA DOCENTE. SU RELACIÓN CON ALGUNOS ASPECTOS PRAGMÁTICOS

Abstract

The aim of this article is describe the contours of the intonational groups of a teacher’s discourse in order to determine the characteristics that they adopt in relation to some relevant pragmatic aspects of it, included initial particles, continuity, completion and different speech acts. To achieve this, I describe 172 intonational groups from an auditory and physical-acoustic analyses, combining the TOBI system notation (Beckman y Ayers Elam, 1993) with the ERB-rate scale and the syllabic position (Gurlekian et al, 1999).
