Nuevas aportaciones al estudio funcional de la entonación coloquial: propuesta ecléctica de integración de modelos de análisis
2017
Se muestran las ventajas de vincular el modelo interactivo de análisis entonativo fonético-funcional (Hidalgo 2011; 2014) con el denominado modelo de Análisis Melódico del Habla (Cantero 2002; Font 2007; Cantero y Font 2007; Cantero y Mateo 2011) en la idea de que esto permitirá contribuir de mejor manera a: precisar la descripción de la versatilidad funcional de la entonación, marcar con la mayor nitidez posible los límites lingüísticos del estudio prosódico y favorecer los avances en el estudio pragmaprosódico de la conversación coloquial, lagunas habituales en la investigación del componente prosódico. A la exhaustividad metodológica del modelo de Análisis Melódico del Habla se añade una…

ΔP as a measure of collocation strength
2018
AbstractThis paper explores the proposed benefits of ΔP (delta P) as a measure of collocation strength. Its focus is on contrasting ΔP with other, more commonly used, association measures, particularly transitional probabilities, but also mutual information and Lexical Gravity G. To this end, first the strong correlation between ΔP and transitional probability is illustrated with the help of two exemplary corpora. This is followed by an analysis of hesitation placement in spontaneous spoken English, based on the assumption that hesitations will not be placed within strong collocations. Results show that, despite their strong similarity, in some contexts ΔP is more predictive of hesitation p…
A conversational, morpho-syntactic and intonation analysis of discourse markers in political discourse : A case study of presidential debates and tel…
2020
This thesis proposes a morphosyntactic, prosodic and conversational analysis of discourse markers in presidential debates and televised political talkshows in the United States of America. The main object of the study is the role of discourse markers in the sequential structuring and in the enunciative organisation of presidential debates in the United States of America. Discourse markers, in correlation with gestures and intonation, contribute significantly to the construction of the verbal exchange between the various participants in mediated political discourse. To achieve its goals, this thesis draws on several theoretical frameworks dealing with spontaneous speech (Benveniste and Berre…
Neural processing of nouns and verbs in spontaneous speech of patients with schizophrenia.
2021
Previous fMRI-studies investigating the production of nouns and verbs in healthy participants reported predominantly activation in the left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) for both classes of words with increased neural responses for verbs. To date, comparable imaging data for spontaneous speech in patients with schizophrenia is missing. These results are novel and may contribute to understand the neural basis of noun and verb production in a "natural" environment. Fifteen patients with schizophrenia and fifteen healthy control participants described pictures for one minute each while BOLD signal changes were measured with fMRI. In an event-related design, activations related to noun and verb …
