Abstract

Geographic and prosodic investigations about Spanish and its varieties show how Phonetics can report benefits to Phorensic Phonetics, because of his sociolinguistic character (showing sociocultural group, geographic nature, age, sex...). For this reason, it is required to know both suprasegmental acoustic parameters and intra/inter speaker variation to identify subjects(Battaner et al . 2003). According to this, the aim of this paper is to check the role of intonation to recognize linguistic, sociolinguistic and dialectal elements. Concretely, it is expected to determine if selected evaluators are able to identify between: a) sentence modality (affirmatives vs. interrogative); b) dialectal varieties (Mexican Spanish vs. mexicoamerican). In order to do this, synthesis files will be used (files with just suprasegmental information, without lexical content), generated with Amper2006 software (developed with Matlab Environment)
