In many languages, some segments are longer/shorter than others due to phonetic context, position within an utterance, etc. However, results from most such studies have typically considered group averages. The present study examined productions by ten subjects to assess the extent to which they individually showed various temporal patterns viewed as characteristic of English. While all subjects demonstrated most of the patterns considered, there were instances in which one or more of them did not. Even when they did manifest expected patterns, there was typically quite a large range of performance across speakers. |
