<div dir="ltr">At the risk of disagreeing with friends, I would ask what your intent is?<div>We often calculate speech rate by EXCLUDING utterances with any of this extraneous stuff. In other words, we pick target utterances that are disfluency-free (and often limit to a word length limit for the utterances, since length of utterance interacts with speech rate.) We do not include all utterances in our calculations, and in fact, exclude quite a few. We then also calculate disfluent words or behaviors over intended words. These two measures can combine to be very informative.</div><div><br></div><div>If you are asking about an effective speech rate, I would (only if it's a monologue) calculate intended words over the total duration to get a rate that basically informs how many intended words a person produced over a given time span. The point about disfluencies is that they leech the transmission of information, making the speaker less effective (for various reasons).</div><div><br></div><div>best regards,</div><div>Nan</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Nan Bernstein Ratner, F-, H-ASHA, F-AAAS, ABCLD</div><div>Professor</div><div>Hearing and Speech Sciences</div><div>University of Maryland</div><div>0100 Lefrak Hall</div><div>College Park, MD 20742</div><div><a href="mailto:nratner@umd.edu" target="_blank">nratner@umd.edu</a>, 301-405-4217</div><div><br></div><div>Co-director: FluencyBank (<font color="#0000ff"><a href="http://www.fluency.talkbank.org" target="_blank">www.fluency.talkbank.org</a></font>) </div><div><br></div><div>ADVANCE Professor, College of Behavioral and Social Sciences</div><div>Director, University of Maryland Autism Research Consortium (UMARC), <a href="http://www.autism.umd.edu" target="_blank">www.autism.umd.edu</a></div><div>Faculty, Language Science (languagescience.umd..edu), Neuroscience & Cognitive Neuroscience (NACS, <a href="http://nacs.umd.edu" target="_blank">nacs.umd.edu</a>), Developmental Science Field Committee</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://hesp.umd.edu/facultyprofile/bernstein%20ratner/nan" target="_blank">http://hesp.umd.edu/facultyprofile/bernstein%20ratner/nan</a> </div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/myncbi/1-UVaaDdREZ/bibliography/40436718/public/?sort=date&direction=ascending" target="_blank">My PubMed Bibliography</a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
