Nuevas aportaciones al estudio de la percepción del habla
Abstract
En un muy citado artículo sobre percepción del habla, Noël Nguyen 2005 hace una afirmación que resume de modo extraordinariamente sucinto un hecho incuestionable sobre el que se han escrito infinidad de tratados: «la forme sonore du langage est d’abord appréhendée à travers l’oreille» (p. 425). Es decir, no puede entenderse el estudio de las propiedades fonéticas y de los sistemas fonológicos de las lenguas, ni su relación con los procesos cognitivos implicados en el fenómeno del habla, sin tener en cuenta ineludiblemente el papel del oyente y el propio mecanismo de la percepción. Esta realidad, ya por sí sola, justifica toda la atención que pueda brindarse al fenómeno perceptivo; pero sucede, además, que en los últimos años se han realizado importantes avances en este terreno y se han abierto nuevas perspectivas de análisis –algunas de ellas representadas en este volumen, como se verá– que hacen aún más recomendable, si cabe, tomarlo en consideración.Downloads
