Abstract: Speech segmentation is the process by which the listener divides up the continuous speech stream into linguistically significant units that can be used to access meaning. The research on the influencing factors of speech segmentation is significant in that it helps the learners to improve their segmentation skills and speech recognition capability. Some influencing factors in the process of speech segmentation, such as rhythm, pronunciation variation, word frequency, lexical chunk, perception strategy and memory strategy on speech segmentation by the analysis of their functions in this process, are explored.

Key words: speech segmentation, rhythm, pronunciation variation, lexical chunk, perception strategy, memory strategy, word frequency
