Shrnutí:The first purpose of this paper is to assess how paralinguistic vocal features (PVFs) are taken on board by readers-aloud. A phonetic definition of PVFs is provided before underscoring the differences between PVFs and their written correlates, paralinguistic vocal markers (PVMs), in Winnie-the-Pooh. More often than not, they are used as characterisation and action-advancing markers. Finally, Alan Bennett’s 1984 recording of Winnie-the-Pooh is presented, showing that many PVMs are indeed duly used while others are sometimes modified or even ignored. Some possible explanations are then tentatively provided.
