Sumario:Previous studies in the field of English prosody highlight the role of nuclear stress as key to achieve an effective communication. This prosodic element creates cohesive ties in the communicational level, thus generating a certain tension between new and given information. The objective of this study is to determine the impact of nuclear stress placement on the subjective evaluations of an English speaker by their listeners. The participants in this experiment are students from the English Teacher Training Course of Studies at Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata. Acting as evaluating raters of the speech samples, they were exposed to the same text, which was recorded in three different versions as regards nuclear stress placement. While version A follows the appropriate placement, version B violates the stress pattern by misplacing the nuclear stress. Additionally, version C violates the pattern as well, by a lack of nuclear stress. After listening to the three speech samples, the raters completed a scalar questionnaire and an open question individually. This paper addresses the results of those questions referred to speaker monotony and enthusiasm.
