“…The concept of phonetic reduction, for example, presupposes the existence of non-reduced forms from which reduced forms deviate (cf. Cangemi & Niebuhr, 2018). While this may be true in relative termsas one form can certainly be formally richer than anotherin absolute terms, it cannot be said that informal speech is "reduced" unless one has a reference form in mind.…”

In this paper, we present Pyrlato, an innovative tool developed in Python for collecting acoustic data from YouTube. The development of this tool was motivated by the need to conveniently collect real-world spoken data. By executing this Python code, researchers can obtain a spoken corpus of specific words, syllables, constituents, and more. We illustrate the main steps of the execution to demonstrate how it works and how to use it. Additionally, we provide a complete example for reference, demonstrating how to customize Pyrlato according to specific requirements. Finally, we discuss the future developments we intend to cover for Pyrlato.

“…Of course decisions as to the composition of canonical forms have an impact on canonical syllable rate measures, as well as on the relationship between canonical and surface rate measures-that is, on what constitutes deletion. As these decisions are open to debate (Cangemi & Niebuhr, 2018;Ernestus, 2014;Kohler, 2000;Pierrehumbert, 2002), they can be considered another layer of 'researcher degrees of freedom'. To explore this layer, we compared the syllable counts of Gold (2014) with those generated by PHO2SYL in our WebMAUS workflow.…”

Phonetic research investigates how speakers and listeners use speech to convey messages. The speech produced to encode a particular message can vary wildly. Understanding and explaining the phonetic variability embodied in this example is one of the main motivations for this Element. Why and how do speakers produce this variability and how does it impact listeners? This Element focuses on spontaneous speech and its relationship with phonetic research. The authors discuss background and describe research investigating the variation that occurs when speakers and listeners are engaged in spontaneous, conversational speech. As a result, this Element explores aspects of spontaneous speech from the phonetic perspective using both production and perception areas of phonetics. This Element focuses on spontaneous speech and its relationship with phonetic research, exploring aspects of spontaneous speech from the phonetic perspective using both production and perception areas of phonetics.
