--- abstract: 'This paper is concerned with the evaluation of speech rate in French. Usually, this dynamic parameter is described as a unidimensional quantitative dimension. It is shown that the slowing down of speech has also major qualitative effects that must be taken into account. The theory on slowing down speech is thus revised.' altloc: - http://www.unil.ch/imm/docs/LAIP/Zellnerdoc.html chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: December 1998 conference: 'ICSLP, 5th International Conference on Spoken Language Processing.' confloc: Syndney (Australia) contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Zellner given: Brigitte honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 1998 date_type: published datestamp: 2000-07-24 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/08/93 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 893 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/893/3/ZellnerSpeechRate.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'speech rate, modelling various speech rates, rhythm, speech rhythm, prosody, speech synthesis, fast speech rate, slow soeech rate, timing, speech timing, temporal structures of speech' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:54:21 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: 3159-3163 pubdom: FALSE publication: ~ publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 12 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 16:35:18 subjects: - ling-phono succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: 'Fast and Slow Speech Rate: a Characterisation for French' type: confpaper userid: 21 volume: 7
