Summary/Abstract: This article concerns two vocal interpretations of the poem Dwa wiatry (Two Winds) by Julian Tuwim: one comes from an actor, the other from an amateur publishing educational materials on the Internet. The aim is to explain why the actor’s interpretation seems more suggestive than the amateur one. The subject of the study is the prosodic features of both performances of the poem (tempo, sound intensity, and tone changes), treated as an iconic indicator of its cognitive and emotional content. This article is a continuation of an earlier publication in which Tuwim’s Lokomotywa (Locomotive) was examined in a similar way. In both studies, the Praat programme for acoustic analysis of sound was used for research.
