Abstract
Prenant l'exemple des rires parlés, cet article esquisse une approche de la phonologie cognitive. Des exemples du Scottish Corpus sont comparés avec les résultats d’études antérieures sur l’allemand. Les deux langues utilisent l'ondulation de la fréquence fondamentale pour exprimer les rires parlés, mais dans les exemples écossais on discerne aussi d’autres mécanismes, tels que l’ondulation de l'intensité sonore et l’allongement vocalique. Il existe un lien entre la réalisation phonétique et la fonction communicative, ainsi qu’une variation individuelle considérable de la gamme phonétique que chaque locuteur emploie.
Taking speech laughter as an example, an approach towards cognitive phonology is sketched. Data from the Scottish Corpus was compared to earlier findings from spoken German. Both used pitch contours to express speech laughter, but several other mechanisms, including amplitude variation and vowel lengthening, were found in the Scots data. There was a relationship between the form and function of speech laughter, and substantial individual variation in the repertoire of forms employed by speakers.
