SoPhISM (The SocioPhonetics of verbal Interaction: Sicilian Multimodal corpus) is an acoustic and articulatory sociophonetic corpus focused on whithin-speaker variation as a function of stylistic/communicative factors.

Abstract

SoPhISM (The SocioPhonetics of verbal Interaction: Sicilian Multimodal corpus) is an acoustic and articulatory sociophonetic corpus focused on whithin-speaker variation as a function of stylistic/communicative factors. The corpus is particularly intended for the study of rhotics as a sociolinguistic variable in the production of Sicilian speakers. Rhotics are analyzed according to the distinction between single-phase and multiple-phase rhotics along with the presence of constriction and aperture articulatory phases. Based on these parameters, the annotation protocol seeks to classify rhotic variants within a sufficiently granular, but internally consistent, phonetic perspective. The proposed descriptive parameters allow for the discussion of atypical realizations in terms of phonetic derivations (or simplifications) of typical closure-aperture sequences. The distribution of fricative variants in the speech repertoire of one speaker and his interlocutors shows the potential provided by SoPhISM for sociophonetic variation to be studied at the 'micro' level of individual speaker's idiolects.
SoPhISM (SocioPhonetics of verbal Interaction: Sicilian Multimodal corpus) es un corpus sociofonético acústico y articulatorio centrado en la variación individual en función de la variedad de la lengua y de los factores estilísticos y comunicativos del habla. El corpus está concebido particularmente para el estudio de /r/ en cuanto variable sociolingüística en el habla italiana y dialectal de locutores sicilianos. Las róticas se analizan teniendo en cuenta la distinción entre monofásicas y multifásicas, y la presencia de fases de constricción y abertura. Sobre la base de estos parámetros, el protocolo de anotación intenta clasificar las variantes dentro de una perspectiva fonética suficientemente minuciosa y, al mismo tiempo, internamente coherente. Los parámetros descriptivos propuestos permiten discutir ciertas realizaciones atípicas como derivaciones fonéticas (o simplificaciones) de secuencias típicas de cierre-apertura. La distribución de las variantes fricativas en el repertorio de un hablante y de sus interlocutores muestra el potencial proporcionado por SoPhISM para el estudio de la variación sociofonética en el nivel “micro” de los idiolectos.
