Griffiths, Roger; Beretta, Alan
RELC Journal: A Journal of Language Teaching and Research in Southeast Asia, v22 n1 p1-19 Jun 1991
A study using spectrographic analysis investigated whether six university professors would modify the temporal organization of their speech when delivering identical lectures to low-proficiency and high-proficiency nonnative and native speaker groups. Results showed no significant modifications of speech rate; articulation differences were between the two nonnative speaker groups. (Contains 40 references.) (Author/LB)
