Rate

语速

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. Rate thus forms part of the contrastivity studied by suprasegmental phonology.

按其一般涵义语音学和音系学用来指说话的速度，也称作Tempo。不同的语言和不同的人发音的总体语速不同。语速因此是超音段音系学对立性研究的一部分。
