LEVEL 4 / POST 6: POST GRADUATE STUDIES.

The truth is that it is difficult for me to make this post because it is something that I have not thought much about hahaha But if I think about it, I would like it to be here in Chile, at the Austral University, for example. In 2020 I had a subject called Musical Acoustics and Psychoacoustics, taught by a teacher named Carla Badani. She studied sound and has a doctorate in linguistics. At first I did not understand what relationship that had with the career, until we had to do a job that studied the voices of different people.

We had to get 6 people, 3 men and 3 women of similar ages. I used my parents, uncles and aunts as an example. It was a very dense but very interesting piece of work, since we carried out segmental (for example, vowel emission) and suprasegmental analysis (of a text that people read). In both analyzes we studied many parameters, such as the average fundamental frequency of your voices, the spectrum and waveform, the vocal extension, the vocal dynamic range, etc. And then we compare by gender and age! it was a very entertaining job. The study of language and its explanation understood as a system of autonomous signs is very interesting.I would love to do a postgraduate in linguistics! I would like to study in person. Going to live in Valdivia I think it would do me good :) jajaja
