Prosodic contrast in non-scripted humorous communication
Buján, Marta (Universidad de Valladolid)

Date:	2020
Abstract:	En el presente artículo se recogen los resultados de un análisis prosódico de enunciados humorísticos semiespontáneos, extraídos de una muestra de 14 entrevistas del programa The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. También se seleccionaron enunciados no humorísticos con fines comparativos y de control (Bryant, 2010). Los archivos de audio se importaron a Praat para obtener los valores de F0 e intensidad de cada enunciado y analizar posteriormente su desviación estándar de la mediana. No se ha detectado contraste prosódico en estos valores entre los enunciados humorísticos y no humorísticos de la muestra.
Abstract:	This article presents the results of a prosodic analysis of non-scripted humorous utterances. Humorous utterances have been extracted from a sample of 14 interviews in The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Non-humorous utterances were also selected in order to compare humorous and non-humorous utterances, as well as to conduct a control study on contrast between non-humorous utterances (Bryant, 2010). The sound files were imported to Praat, where mean pitch and mean intensity values were obtained for every utterance to later analyse standard deviation. No prosodic contrast has been found between humorous and non-humorous utterances in the sample with regards to intensity and pitch (F0).
