  • Summary

    This chapter reviews speech rhythm in the context of prosodic entrainment in speakers with autism, and then presents data on speaking-rate entrainment obtained from conversations of children and adolescents with and without autism. The study focuses in particular on speaking rate entrainment at the level of the conversational turn and compares patterns of speaking rate entrainment to patterns in entrainment of fundamental frequency. The relationship between local entrainment at the conversational turn level is furthermore compared to global conversational entrainment that occurs over the course of the entire conversation. Results show no differences in entrainment in speaking rate at the turn level between speakers with and without autism. Furthermore, speaking rate and fundamental frequency entrainment behavior are correlated at the level of the conversational turn for both groups. Lastly, results suggest that turn-level entrainment is not correlated with global entrainment in fundamental frequency, possibly indicating that local and global entrainment serve different conversational functions.
