Resumen de Análisis pragmático-discursivo de los recursos entonacionales de modalidad y su incidencia en la construcción informativa de diferentes enunciados fonológicos del español chileno
Chilean Spanish spoken in the Metropolitan Region is characterized by the recurrence of intonational modalities that contribute to the informative/discursive construction of the different phonological utterances (Bedmar 2011) that have been obtained from a Chilean- language corpus in contexts, both urban and rural areas. This corpus was compiled through recordings of sociolinguistic interviews that allowed to observe the prosodic behavior of the speakers in the construction of unplanned utterances, referring to local and daily life issues. For phonological analysis purposes, three types of units of intonation were identified: simple intonational unit, multinuclear intonational unit, and the intonation with the nucleus displaced to the left. In the multinuclear unit, it is possible to reflect on the phonetic aspects that show the dynamism of the intonational accents understood as a plurifuncional mobile tonal unit that shapes and delimits the melodic contours, at the same time (Céspedes, 2016). The phonetic data were obtained through the Melodic Speech Analysis (Cantero & Font, 2009) which focused on the description of the five melodic features that the model establishes. The results prove a use of global contours characterized by multinuclearity, a plural perspective that is defined as a dynamic of intonational variable accents (Céspedes, 2016), which participate in the informative construction of utterances and enclose a pragmatic / intonational plurifunctio- nality.
