Abstract

In the investigation project “Comparative study of intonation and accent in Spanish frontier zones” (FFI2014-52716-P), vinculated to the international project AMPER (Atlas Multimédia Prosodique de l’Espace Roman), a prosodic description of Venezuelan Spanish is made. In this work, we make a phonetic-phonological intonative study of the corpus denominated Map task of Merida’s survey points (Region of Los Andes), Barinas (Region of Los Llanos), Aragua (Central Region) and Bolivar (South-Oriental Region) with the objective of checking whether this type of sponataneous corpus validates the prosodic characteristics of the experimental corpus described in previous works. The analysis was realized with Matlab subroutines and was, later, survised with the Praat software; the absolute values of F0, extracted in the syllable nucleus, were relativized in semitones, determinind their perceptive importance from a differential threshold of 1,5 semitones.

Keywords:
