Abstract

An examination of the articulatory and acoustic correlates of duration change using rules based on Klatt ´79 confirms the influence of such known effects as stress, phonetic context, intrinsic vowel duration, part of speech, and position in utterance and provides a key to quantifying and isolating the effects of speech-rate through measurement of the smoothed error extracted from the difference between predicted and observed durations
