К ПРОБЛЕМЕ ВОСПРИЯТИЯ И ОПИСАНИЯ ТЕМБРАЛЬНЫХ ГОЛОСОВЫХ ХАРАКТЕРИСТИК В ДЕТСКОЙ ИГРОВОЙ КОММУНИКАЦИИ

Abstract

The article reflects the results of a psycholinguistic study of the perception of prosodic timbre based on the material of spontaneous children's speech. The problem of describing of the timbre is not sufficiently developed: on the one hand, there is no single interpretation of the concept of «timbre», on the other hand, the question of relating the timbre to the components of intonation still remains unresolved. It is obvious that timbre is a means of conveying the emotive meanings of an utterance, and its perception is based on emotional and evaluative sensations. The article deals with the prosodic timbre, which, unlike the speaker's voice quality, is not a constitutive means. The study was conducted on the material of spontaneous speech of preschoolers in a game. An analysis of the peculiarities of the perception of timbre by «naive» native Russian speakers and phonetic experts showed that the palette of timbres provided to the auditors before the start of the experiment and including only «light» characteristics facilitates the classification of fragments but does not fully reflect the features of speech sounding. The article also compares the results obtained from phonetic experts on the characteristics of the prosodic timbre with the theory of vowel timbres by E.N. Vinarskaya.
