Abstract:

Speech Rate, Pause, and Sociolinguistic Variation examines the confluence of
psycholinguistic factors and social factors in linguistic variation through
corpus-based analyses of speech rate and silent pause in US English. In
particular, based on a large amount of data extracted from a wide range of
sociolinguistic interview recordings, it demonstrates the great extent to
which articulation rates are correlated with social factors of speakers (such
as regional origin and sex) while pause durations are less so. Through the
development of new quantitative techniques, it considers the cognitive
importance of variability in pauses and highlights new ways that speech
features like these can be used to help understand the production of
sociolinguistic variables. With detailed discussions of its data and methods,
and with a helpful accompanying website, it makes a valuable guide for
conducting one's own corpus (socio)phonetic research.
