Comparison Of Msa Rhythm Metrics In Three Southern Algerian Regions

Main Article Content

Ghania Droua

Abstract

This paper deals with rhythm metrics of MSA language computed from speech files of three southern regions of Algeria (Bechar, Ghardaia and El Oued). The data collection is a part of ALGASD corpus. The experiments were conducted to investigate the variation of IM, PVI and CCI scores according to origin and gender of speakers. The last investigation concerns the comparison of these rhythm values with results finding for West Point corpus
