Modelling varying speaking style remains a challenge to sta
te
of the art speech recognition and synthesis systems. Vowel a
nd consonant
reduction have been identified as correlative to speaking st
yle variation,
but still lack a common measurement. The reduction phenomen
aare
often observed without consideration of coarticulation an
dassimilation
e
!
ects, and as a result of speaking rate variability. We present an analy-
sis of acoustic reduction in Mel Frequency cepstral coe
"
cie
nts (MFCC)
feature space of phonemes, estimate duration and determine
the degree
of correlation between duration reduction and feature spac
ereduction
for two di

erent speaking styles present in broadcast news a
nd conversa-
tional recordings. We analyse the feature space reduction o
fconsonants
and vowels in context in a syllable environment |
