Resumo
Antecedentes: As características das leituras orais são bem estudadas em crianças e adolescentes em idade escolar, mas não em adultos instruídos. Objetivos: Avaliar a prevalência de incongruências de limites prosódicos nas leituras orais de adultos, nativos, educados, falantes do português brasileiro e analisar suas correlações com características lingüísticas específicas. Desenho, ambientes e participantes: Estudamos um video corpus online de discursos políticos proferidos por membros da Câmara dos Deputados brasileiros entre 2017 e 2018, e seus respectivos textos escritos. Medidas: Avaliamos a) incongruências prosódicas entre leituras orais e textos escritos, b) prototipicidade dos sujeitos, c) continuidade temática das frases, e d) uma variável chamada 'suficiência', relacionada com o conceito de argumenthood, classificando cada palavra de acordo com sua necessidade de palavras complementares. A confiabilidade entre os avaliadores das percepções de incongruências do autor foi submetida ao teste Kappa de Cohen. Resultados: Em 5 horas de leituras orais, encontramos uma mediana de 1,4 incongruências de limite prosódico por minuto (intervalo interquartil: 0,766 - 2,212). 80% das incongruências foram inserções de limites não-terminais ou terminais. A incongruência de limite prosódico correlacionou-se positivamente com a) a continuidade temática das frases incongruentes (p=0,0006345), b) o conceito de "suficiência" (p< 2,2e-16); e correlacionou-se negativamente com c) sujeitos em primeira pessoa (p=0,0002584). Limitações: A avaliação das variáveis foi subjetiva, e não controlamos as sentenças por sua extensão ao analisarmos as variáveis 'b' e 'c'. Conclusões: As incongruências de limites prosódicos eram relativamente comuns em nosso corpus. Introduzimos algumas hipóteses para explicar os resultados.
