This corpus was originally a corpus created for a study concerning with vocatives in European Portuguese. The main goal of this study was to analyze some prosodic features of the vocative in European Portuguese and their relation with the syntactic distribution (initial, medial, final) of these constituents.

The corpus has 432 audio files. This number results from the recording of 108 sentences (54 target sentences and 54 fillers) repeated once by the two native speakers of Standard European Portuguese.

 

Examples:

João, vê os animais. (Audio)

Vê, João, os animais. (Audio)

Vê os animais, João. (Audio)
