| Beskrivning: | This research aims at describing the temporal variables in two regional variants of Spanish: avariant from Costa Rica (San José) and a variant from Spain (Barcelona). More specifically, we examine, in a comparative perspective, the speech rate, the number and duration of pauses and the articulation rate in a reading task. The effect, on articulation rate, of the speakers’ age and gender, as well as the effect of the utterance length are also investigated, given that such factors have been shown to affect articulation rate in other languages like French, English or Dutch. Results show that, on the one hand, Costa Rican speakers produce longer pauses than Spanish speakers, and on the other hand, speakers of the two variants present a similar articulation rate which is affected by extralinguistic factors (i.e. speakers’ age or profession) as well as by linguistic factors (i.e. utterance length). |
