Dysprosody

Impairment of rhythm, stress, pitch or emotional modulation in speech.

Explanation

Impairment of rhythm, stress, pitch or emotional modulation in speech. Shows that linguistic meaning also arises through temporal and melodic bodily coordination, not only through words.

Example

The wording is intelligible, yet question, affect or emphasis is difficult to recognise prosodically.

Counterexample

A mere label without the described formal or conceptual movement.

Distinction

Distinguish from Prosodie; the neighbour remains connected as a crossway.

Effect on thought and perception

Shows that linguistic meaning also arises through temporal and melodic bodily coordination, not only through words.

Resonance

Shows that linguistic meaning also arises through temporal and melodic bodily coordination, not only through words.
