Reciting a sonnet: production strategies and perceptual effects

Sandra Madureira

This paper examines, from a dynamically-oriented approach, speaking strategies used by two professional speakers in reciting a sonnet.

Spectrographic and perceptual analysis of prosodic and segmental elements are carried out. Uses of speaking strategies and their effects are contrasted to discuss relations between sound and sense.
