The research for the effect of speaking rate to segmental reduction
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper mainly researches the speaking rate effect for segmental reduction in a phrase word. Four speakers spoke eight words with different speaking rates. The investigation includes the durational variation of each syllable, the durational variation of each semi-syllable and the total word duration variation. Different speakers’ material in read speech was explored at last.

Effect of segmental joint stiffness on tunnel lining internal forces under static conditions
According to the wide application of segmental lining in mechanized tunneling, recognizing the behavior of segmental lining joints is important in tunnels designing. In the structural analysis of the tunnel segmental lining, segmental joints can be considered as elastic joints, and their stiffness characteristics are affected by the rotational, shear, and axial stiffness. The purpose of this wo...

متن کاملEffect of Segmental Joint on Internal Forces in Tunnel Lining under Seismic Loading by Numerical Method
Although segmental tunnel linings are often used for seismic areas, the influence of segment joints on the segmental lining behavior under seismic loading has not been thoroughly considered in the literature. This paper presents the results of a numerical study investigating the effects of the rotational, axial, and radial joint stiffness of the longitudinal joints on the structural force...
متن کاملSegment and syllable reduction:
Spectrographic data are presented to exemplify effects of segmental reduction on utterance length, measured in terms of number of phonetic syllables per utterance. The speculation is put forward that segmental reorganization in ‘fast speech’ is partly constrained to preserve speaking rate, specified as number of phonetic syllables per unit time.
