applescript SAY command help needed

AS newbie ...

Currently I don't have a way to stop this speaking in the middle - CMD
period does not help.


Is there a way that applescript can maybe loop and break this into
smaller chunks and check every 5 or 10 words if a key like CMD-period
is pressed and if so stop the speaking loop?


EX.

set thisstuff to "a very large paragraph of text - bigger then this
example. a very large paragraph of text - bigger then this example. a
very large paragraph of text - bigger then this example. a very large
paragraph of text - bigger then this example. a very large paragraph
of text - bigger then this example."

say thisstuff

Thanks - Dave
