Abstract(in English) A novel and structural representation of speech is recently proposed, where the dimensions of inevitable non-linguistic features are diminished. This representation is called the acoustic universal structure. Every speech event is described as distribution and distance between any two events is calculated as normalized cross correlation. Then, a global structure is composed of all the distances. The structure is invariant with any of a single affine transformation, which is the simplest model of the non-linguistic features. This structural representation can be viewed linguistically as physical implementation of structural phonology and psychologically as speech Gestalt. This paper introduces a distance measure between two structures. First, the measure is investigated between two structures in an euclidean space. Next, the measure is obtained approximately between two structures in an noneuclidean space.
