Description
Summary:Considering that the perception of speech consists of the extraction of meaning from the acoustic signal and that the punctuation signals function as prosody markers in the sense of they supply to the reader the information about the melody variations that will occur during the aloud reading, we have searched weather the listener is capable to perceive the melody variations that are related to reading and marked with punctuation system in the text. We carried out an experiment that consisted on the task of relating perception with corresponding punctuation signals. We have investigated in this work if the listener notices the melody variations that the punctuation signals incite and if the previous grammatical knowledge of the punctuation rules and variations of F0, intensity, duration and pause contributes to the perception of (the) different punctuation signals KEYWORDS: Perception.
