timing patterns, tempo, speaking styleAbstract
The study investigates the effect of different speech rates and speaking styles on timing patterns in Polish using a recently developed methodology (Annotation Pro+TGA) and a new speech corpus for rhythm research. We report on preliminary results indicating changes in syllable rates according to intended tempi (i.e. higher/lower number of syllables per second at faster/slower rates) and discuss results of regression analysis of duration differences in inter-pausal time groups, e.g. the variability of duration difference regression slopes in the three speaking styles.
