The most common types of phonation used in acted speech are the following: whisper (for secrecy/ conspiracy/confidentiality), breathiness (for deep emotion or desire/surprise/pleasure), huskiness (for unimportance or disparagement), nasality (for anxiety), extra lip-rounding (for intimacy) (Crystal, 2005: 249). Lisping is associated with effeminacy. The use of different timbres together with other prosodic means ads variability to acted speech and allows creating characters' voice portraits that can be easily recognized by listeners.
Thus, the manner of narration used in Victorian novels by Jane Austen is characterized by prosodic variation which can be observed in narrator's speech and especially in direct speech realizations. The latter act as voice portraits of Jane Austen's characters with their idiosyncrasies expressed by means of a specific complex of prosodic features.
