Syllable count output?

[Nan Bernstein Ratner]

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. But this is just a rough estimate. If you need precision, you should probably import to Phon, as Brian recommends.

Joe,
    The main line doesn’t deal with syllables and the %pho only does if they are marked.  However, if you take the data into from CHAT into Phon format and use Phon to syllabify then you can compute number of syllables and many other things on this level.
    My guess is that syllables/minute is going to be highly correlated with words/minute which you could compute directly in CLAN.

Hi Chibolts group,

Does anyone know whether CLAN has an output for number of syllables? I'm trying to get a syllable count so I can calculate speaking rate in syllables/minute.

Much obliged,
Joe
