Abstract
This paper deals with the immediate relative speech rate analysis. It represents a design of the algorithm of its determination based on the dynamic time warping (DTW) method. It also shows a practical application of the relative speech rate determination in the case of some pathological discourses. From the point of view of the speech rate there are examined the discourses of the Parkinson’s disease’s patients, persons suffering from stammering and patients after cochlear implantation.
