Abstract

In the present study, selected prosodic properties of spontaneous material which was later read by the same, and other, speakers are compared. The major differences between spontaneous speech and read speech are (1) readers tend to make the boundaries between tone units at different points, (2) the position of the stresses differs, and (3) there are fewer pauses in read speech, and the location of these differs between readers.
