Abstract
This paper investigates the perception of expressiveness in storytelling. The aim is to establish a typology by identifying in a first step different perceived expressive forms. Two perceptive tests, a listening and a reading test, have been set up using a free semantic verbalization method. In particular, we focused on the influence of verbal and non verbal information on the perception of expressive types. From a detailed analysis of the listening test answers we distinguished between three situational categories of expressiveness specific to storytelling (emotions, emotional attitudes and means of expression). A comparison of the data collected in both tests has yielded different cues that seem to have been interpreted as expressing surprise, fear and sadness.
