¿Subminimalidad prosódica en las partículas del inglés? El caso de on
Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
En este trabajo presentamos un estudio acústico preliminar utilizando el software Praat (Boersma & Weenink 2019) sobre la partícula adverbial on del inglés, que participa en los denominados phrasal y prepositional verbs (Quirk & Greenbaum 1973; Quirk et al. 1985). El objetivo es recabar evidencia acústica que permita llegar a una caracterización de esta partícula con el fin de determinar si se aproxima a las propiedades esperadas de un ítem funcional o léxico. Para ello se analizó la producción de la partícula en tres estímulos diferentes por nueve hablantes nativos del inglés y se registraron valores como F1, F2 y duración de la vocal de la partícula. Los resultados obtenidos serían en principio consistentes con la hipótesis según la cual este tipo de partículas tiene una naturaleza funcional y, por lo tanto, no revisten estatus de palabra prosódica, de manera que se trataría de elementos submínimos prosódicamente. Esto puede formalizarse a partir de modelos que abordan las palabras funcionales submínimas y su relación con la palabra prosódica/fonológica (Nespor & Vogel 1986, Selkirk 1996).
