Abstract
The idea of the paper is to test through the example of Australian English within the scope of one study the validity of the three best-known approaches designed to quantify speech rhythm, namely, the methods based on the Deltas, on the PVIs and on voice timing. The paper also aims at finding out whether the gender factor has any influence on Australian English speech rhythm.
