Neki vremenski parametri govora u dnevnicima HTV-A

The paper presents some temporal speech parameters in the HTV News broadcast as a significant indicator of speech organization in general. Using a sample of 69 minutes and 65 speakers having different roles in the HTV News (anchor persons, announcers, reporters and guests of the news) who spoke on the average for 63 seconds, the pause length has been monitored (syntactical and logical, fragmental, emphatic, lexical, mixed and pauses relating to processing of the text) and speech sections (a paragraph, a phonetic block, a phonetic word and a syllable), and the speech rate and the rate of articulation. Different mean values have been obtained and the frequency of the monitored variables as regards different speech roles for both male and female speakers. The peer is of a descriptive nature and by using a rather precise method and a large sample it has tested the previous results of temporal speech parameters and also obtained some new ones (the difference between the rate of speech and the rate of articulation, frequency of pauses, an average length of phonetic blocks). The comparison of some temporal parameters of the present day HTV News with the results obtained 15 years ago shows that its linguistic structure in terms of length has not changed and the News in that particular segment of temporal organization lacks to the same extent the speech component as it did before the aforementioned period.
