Abstract

With the purpose of refining the rhythmic class of a syllable-timed language like Spanish and also indicating dialect variations, four normalized metric rhythmic to avoid disturbances caused by changes in speaking rate: (1) the proportionality of vocalic intervals (% V), (2) the index of variability of vocalic intervals in pairs, normalized by the average of those pairs (n PVI-V), (3) the standard deviation of consonantal intervals normalized by logarithm base e (n Delta V), and (4) a metric of control, the index variability of consonantal intervals in pairs, normalized by the average of those pairs (n PVI-C) are calculated. The results separate the Romance languages (Spanish) of the Germanic languages. They also indicate dialectal differences.
