Thus, the distinctive features of Irish speech are syntagmatic division with the predominance of short and medium syntagmata in the speech of the age groups «20-25 years», «25-35 years», less fractional division in the speech of the informants older than 35 years, as well as faster speech rate of the female speakers compared to the male ones.
