Atitudes dos ouvintes em relação a vozes saudáveis e desviadas

Abstract

The objective of the present research is the relation between the linguistic attitude and the presence, the predominant vocal quality and the intensity of the vocal deviation. There were 44 speech samples, from the presence, the predominant vocal quality and the intensity of the deviation for 152 university listeners to perform the judgment of attitudes, through a scale of semantic differential. The results of the research revealed that individuals with vocal deviation were judged negatively in 11 of the 12 attributes, excluding only "calm / agitated". Patients with vocal level deviation were judged to be more "unpleasant," "unfriendly," "introverted," "unsafe," "incompetent," and "dependent" on healthy particles. Patients with the removal of moderated was judged negative in 11 attributes, in relation to patients with mild levels. Individuals with vocal changes were judged as more unpleasant, weak, fragile, ill and dependent, in relation to moderate vocal deviation. There was no association between the type of vocal deviation and the attributes evaluated; The ignition is also related to the severity, vocal deviation intensity, roughness degree, degree of tension, jitter, shimmer and standard deviation of the fundamental frequency. Finally, observe the presence, intensity and type of vocal deviation and the judgment of attitudes. More deviant and blowing voices were evaluated more negatively. Increasing the intensity of vocal deviation and the degree of breathiness reduces the chance of a positive evaluation. For female voices, increasing the degree of breathiness and tension reduces the chance of a positive judgment. Increasing the degree of roughness in the male voices increased the chance of being positive, whereas the greater intensity of the vocal deviation reduced the chance of positive evaluation. It was concluded that a presence of vocal deviation, a predominant intensity and type of voice, resulted in negative judgments by the listeners for dysfunctional individuals and that the acoustic parameters became tools of analysis, gave rise to the linguistic phenomenon.
