Abstract:
A system (WELMAR II) is described for analyzing time patterns of speech on small computers. Temporal speech patterning refers to the pacing of the sounds and silences that make up a stream of speech. The system is particularly useful for research involving clinical populations since it has been shown that speech rhythms are sensitive to interpersonal influence, to dimensions of personality, and to psychological pathology.
