    This document summarizes a research article that examines methodological implications for acoustically measuring speech rhythm in Spanish and English. The article compares two rhythm metrics (%V and VarcoV) using different treatments of pauses and intervals from a corpus of Spanish from Patagonia, Argentina and standard British and American English. The results indicate that VarcoV, excluding final intervals before pauses using method B, most effectively reflects the rhythmic differences between the languages.

    ABSTRACT
    From a phonological approach, speech rhythm has been conceived of as the product of different
    phonetic and phonological properties, such as syllabic structure, the role of stress and vowel
    reduction. Spanish and English represent two clearly different rhythmic typologies. Many
    acoustic measurements have been developed in order to account for the rhythmic differences
    among languages. In this study two rhythm metrics are adopted: %V and VarcoV. These
    metrics are computed considering two treatments for pauses (method A and B from the software
    Correlatore) and the treatment for intervals before pauses (with inclusion or exclusion of final
    intervals). By means of a corpus obtained experimentally, different measurements are compared
    so as to get the most productive way of distinguishing the rhythm of Spanish in Patagonia,
    Argentina, and the rhythm from standard British English and standard American English. The
    results indicate that the most effective technique for reflecting rhythmical differences is by
    means of VarcoV, method B and exclusion of final intervals.
