Prosodi utgörs bland annat av variationer i tonhöjd, så kallade tonglidningar. Dessa tonglidningar förmedlar såväl språkligt som emotionellt innehåll i talet. Förmågan att uppfatta skillnader i tonhöjd kallas frekvensdiskriminering. Eftersom denna förmåga kan påverkas negativt av en sensorineural hörselskada är det tänkbart att hörselskadan även kan påverka perceptionen av prosodi. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan perception av tonglidningar och perception av prosodi samt om det finns en skillnad i dessa förmågor hos normalhörande respektive personer med en hörselnedsättning.

This thesis explores how verbal and nonverbal signs communicate attitudes and the rhetorical functions of such attitudinal signs. Attitudes are regarded as rationalized evaluations of attitudinal objects, and through their manifestation in signs an attitudinal gestalt is communicated. This gestalt is regarded as the audiences perception of the rhetors attitude. It is shown that the attitudinal signs function as ethical, logical and pathetic proofs and that they can create identification between the audience and the rhetor. The signs can have effects on the audiences perception of the attitudinal objects, their perception of the rhetor and influence the social dynamic of the discourse.
