Audible Punctuation

Audible Punctuation focuses on the pause in Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, both as a compositional feature and as a performative aspect of delivery. Ronald Blankenborg’s analysis of metrical, rhythmical, syntactical, and phonological phrasing shows that the text of the Homeric epic allows for different options for performative pause.

Punctatia sonora se concentreaza pe pauza din Iliada si Odiseea lui Homer, atat ca trasatura compozitionala, cat si ca aspect performativ al livrarii, argumentand posibilitatile si limitele exprimarii frazelor in interpretare. Analiza lui Ronald Blankenborg a formularii metrice, ritmice, sintactice si fonologice arata ca textul epopei homerice permite diferite optiuni pentru pauza performativa - un fenomen fonetic evidentiat de fonologie. Punctuatia selecteaza pauzele care, in circumstante fonetice specifice, se dubleaza ca repausuri de o anumita durata in timpul unei interpretari.
