Acoustic and linguistic influences on rise-time modulations in natural English speech: evidence from a sensorimotor synchronization paradigm [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyModulations of amplitude rise-time are considered fundamental to speech rhythm. However, rise-time is a holistic measure of the waveform shape and, as such, may be influenced by a variety of factors, potentially obscuring relationships between speech ...

Intelligibility improves perception of timing changes in speech
PLoS ONE, 2023 Auditory rhythms are ubiquitous in music, speech, and other everyday sounds. Yet, it is unclear how perceived rhythms arise from the repeating structure of sounds. For speech, it is unclear whether rhythm is solely derived from acoustic properties (e.g.,

Detection of Non-native Speaker Status from Backwards and Vocoded Content-masked Speech
Theory and Practice of Second Language Acquisition, 2021 This paper addresses the issue of speech rhythm as a cue to non-native pronunciation. In natural recordings, it is impossible to disentangle rhythm from segmental, subphonemic or suprasegmental features that may influence nativeness ratings.
