rhythm


Explanation:
I think that by "pautas prosódicas especiales de tempo" they are referring to the rhythm of the discourse, at least in your example.

Cheers,

Karina ;)

"Lo suprasegmental siempre ha interesado a los fonetistas. En la quinta edición de Pronunciation of English, Gimson {1962}(1994) distingue entre características prosódicas, paralingüísticas y extralingüísticas. En primer lugar, describe las características prosódicas: “the features of pitch, length and loudness.” (1994:52) Muchos fonetistas hablan de lo suprasegmental y lo prosódico para describir lo mismo. También Gimson incluye en las características prosódicas “intonation, rhythm and voice quality.”"
