6.1.3 Rate of delivery
The delivery rate calculated in the first 65 segments of the corpus was not
excessive, ranging between 0.7 wps or 42 wpm (segment n. 3) and 3.1 wps or 186
wpm (segment n. 64) with an average of 1.7 wps or 102 wpm, as shown in table 1
below.
Although this speed is in line with the average of 100 to 120 wpm (Chernov 2004:
17; Seleskovitch 1990: 67) defined at the beginning of this study, it was often rather
uneven, with a spread between adjacent segments that in two cases was of 1.1 wps
(segments 20/21 & 24/25) and in one other case reached 1.2 wps (segments 61/62).
