Rhetorical Pauses in Oral Reading.

Clemmer, Edward J.; And Others

Language and Speech, v22 n4 p397-405 Oct-Dec 1979

When church lectors and beginning and advanced drama students read the same passage, the drama students used faster articulation, faster speech rates, and fewer pauses than church lectors. Expert and nonprofessional evaluators preferred the advanced drama students, followed by the beginning drama students and then the church lectors. (Author/RL)
