For my master's thesis, I am looking at voice onset time in speech to infants and to adults. One factor which is known to effect VOT is speech rate, so I am looking for a way to calculate this using a program in Clan. I noticed that when I ran Kideval, the output included columns for "Dur Words", "Dur Utts", "Dur Time (sec)", "Words/Time", and "Utts/Time". I was wondering if anyone could explain what is going into each of these columns, and how they are each being calculated. I am assuming "Dur Time (sec)" is the total time in seconds of all the bullets for a particular tier, and that Words/Time and Utts/Time are just the total number of words/utterances divided by the total time. I cannot figure out was "Dur Words" and "Dur Utts" contains. </div><div><br></div><div>My other concern is that in the transcripts I am using there are often long periods of silence or activity with no talking that have been coded as MOT: 0 [=! silence] or MOT: 0 [=! moving toys], etc. My question is, will these bullets be included in the total duration for the mother? If so, is there a way to exclude them? I would guess maybe the easiest thing to do would be to just change the tier name since I am only concerned with the mother's speech rate. </div><div><br></div><div>If anyone has used kideval for rate calculations before and has any input, I would really appreciate it! </div><div><br></div><div>Thank you, </div><div>Julie Sampson</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div>
