The guide's speech is a very specific type of discourse. It is a semi-planned monologue performed, with minimal deviations from the pattern, several times in succcession. These qualities therefore allow for a study of each speaker's articulatory rate. This paper analyzes the articulatory and speech rate, pauses, as well as the distinction of prosodic units, using four guides' speeches (utterances?). Each of the speeches was studied in two iterations. This paper presents a detailed description of the observed qualities for each speaker and a comprehensive summary comparison of the guides' speech patterns. |
