Sociophonetic study of the Capixaba speech rhythm
Jair de Almeida Silva, Alexsandro Rodrigues Meireles
Journal of Speech Sciences · 1(1), 3-13 · 2011
What the paper examines
This study investigates speech rhythm in the Brazilian Portuguese variety associated with Espírito Santo. It uses a dynamic rhythm framework to consider timing and speech-rate variation in recorded speech.
Reading it in context
Descriptions of a language variety help explain why one timing pattern should not be assumed for every speaker. The linguistic setting and the way speech samples were collected are important parts of the interpretation.
A question to read with
How does the study distinguish speech-rate changes from patterns associated with the language variety?
