rate (n.)

An application of the general sense of this term in PHONETICS and PHONOLOGY to refer to speed of speaking; alternatively known as TEMPO. LANGUAGES and people vary in their overall rate of ARTICULATION (measured in such terms as SYLLABLES per second, WORDS per minute, incidence of PAUSES). Within a given NORM, however, it is possible to vary one’s rate for particular SEMANTIC or social effects, e.g. the ‘meditative’ sense of we-e-ll, produced very slowly. Rate thus forms part of the CONTRASTIVITY studied by SUPRASEGMENTAL phonology.
