The objective of this phonetic-phonological research is to describe the raising process of the mid pretonic vowels /e/ and /o/ in the Portuguese spoken by the inhabitants of Tucurui, a town in Pará, in the Brazilian Amazon, who are originally from Maranhão, a northeastern Brazilian state, and their descendants. The quantitative sociolinguistics (LABOV, 1972) whow was employed to study the dialectal variations within the speech community where the research was carried out. Bortoni-Ricardo’s (1985) procedures to study reference groups were used to compose the sample. Samples of speech of 36 participants in the research were divided into two groups (anchorage and control) and classified by age and sex for analysis. PRAAT Program and the GOLDVARB X Program were used to segment and analyze the 1.720 occurrences of the target variables. The results indicate that the rule of vowel raising of the studied variable does not apply (32.1% for /e/ and 17.7% for /o/). Five groups of factors were selected for the study of /e/ and seven for the study of /o/. According to the results, the raising of mid pretonic vowels is favored due to the presence of: a high vowel (.62 for /e/ and .88 for /o/); a nasalized tonic vowel (.71 for /e/ and /o/), a nasalized pretonic vowel (.68 for /e / and .86 for o/).

Vai tirar um dinheiro que é teu: caracterização prosódica e gestual das narrativas de enterro

In the present study we focus a type of oral narrative, the burial narrative, which comprises the rescue of a supernatural treasure, revealed to a chosen person with a deserving profile. According to Fernandes (2007), the burial narrative is characterized by having four archetypes or meanings: protostory, descriptive, explanatory, deception and a structure composedof: origin, annunciation, manifestation, marking, ordeal and outcome. The elaboration of archetypes and structure is subordinated to the narrator's linguistic awareness. In the research athand, we expanded Fernandes' (2007) discussions, postulating that the narrator associatesprosody and gesture, to make a discursive break and/or produce meaning(s). The research corpusincludes 32 narratives, recorded in mp4 and wav format, prepared by native speakers from quilombola communities in Baixo Tocantins/PA: Mola, Itabatinga, Itapocu, Laguinho, Tomázia, Bomfim, Taxizal and Frade. Data processing involved: 1) transcription, according to the Conversation Analysis Notation System (MARCUSCHI, 1986); 2) structural analysis(FERNANDES, 2007); 3) segmentation in PRAAT to map the silent pause (in ms) and f0 (in Hz); 4) taking acoustic measurements with a relevant role in delimiting the parts (OLIVEIRA Jr., 2000); 5) notation in ELAN, of tracks, containing: a) parts of the narrative (FERNANDES, 2007); b) utterance (discursive sequence delimited by a pause of variable length), c) gestural dimension (MCNEILL, 2005): iconic, metaphorical, deictic and rhythmic; and d) gestural phases: preparation, blow, post-blow (KENDON, 2004), and 6) treatment in RsTudio. The result demonstrated that: 1) regarding prosodic analysis: a) the pause delimits the parts of the burial narrative, as at the border it has a longer duration (in ms); b) the pitch range (minimum, average and maximum) plays a crucial role in defining the parts, as it presents a downward curvature at the border. 2) Regarding gestural variables: a) the rhythmic gesture has greater occurrence and,b) the verbal-gestural movement is achieved through the elaboration of its nucleares phase: the blow. 3) Regarding the correlation between gesture and prosody, we detected that: a) during thepost-stroke, the duration of the pause is longer; b) maximum f0 is more prominent in the stroke and decreases post-stroke; c) the average f0 has a greater elevation during the pre-strike, has a downward curvature in the stroke and post-strike; d) the minimum f0 increases during the courseof the pre-stroke. Therefore, we attest to the hypotheses that there is a multimodal structure in burial narratives, because the narrator associates prosody and gestures to delimit the parts and/or produce meaning.
