We could for example extract number of syllables per utterance, divided by utterance length. This would avoid computing pauses/gaps between utterances/speech turns. We could also automatically skip the utterances which contain a pause marker. Of course all depending on how general or specific you want your measure to be!<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Yvan<br class=""><div class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Sep 15, 2015, at 14:09, Nan Bernstein Ratner <<a href="mailto:nratner@umd.edu" class="">nratner@umd.edu</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class="">There are some old references in fluency (I co-write one, with Shelley Brundage) that suggest you can use a multiplier of 1.5 to go from words to syllables in English.
