- Abstract:
-
We compare 15 measures of speech rhythm based on an automatic segmentation of speech into vowel-like and consonant-like regions. This allows us to apply identical segmentation criteria to all languages and to compute rhythm measures over a large corpus. It may also approximate more closely the segmentation available to pre-lexical infants, who apparently can discriminate between languages. We find that within-language variation is large and comparable to the between-languages differences we o...
