lPraat script is a scripting, not a programming
language
¡A Praat script rather intuitively describes the steps
that as Praat user would have
to go through to achieve the same result.
lSay, you want to select and remove the sound object
“HelloWorld” from the object
list:
l
lselect Sound HelloWorld
lRemove
l
¡In addition to those elements, the Praat scripting
language (PSL) contains
elements that allow you to “automate things”
lDo … while; for i from 1 to 10; if X Y elsif Z else W;
etc.
lVariables
lCalling other Praat scripts
¡Finally, PSL provides you with a way to interact with
the user of the script (i.e.
probably you).
