  1. p, p-value for comparing between the studied groups; NS, statistically no significant difference (p ≥ 0.05); T-test, Student t-test; SL rate, average syllabic rate; SL sdur, average syllabic duration; SL spk%, percent speaking time; SL pau%, percent pause time; SL pdur, average pause duration. *Statistically significant difference (p < 0.05)
