Rhythm in Thai Esophageal Speech
Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1986Duration measurements associated with rhythmic aspects of speech produced by one Thai esophageal speaker were compared to previously published identical measures for normal Thai speakers. Measures of central tendency and variability were taken of the duration of syllables, pauses, phrases, and interstress intervals. Despite a slower-than-normal overall

Speech rhythm is one of the main prosodic features of spoken languages. The quantitative research data on this topic in the literature are not numerous may be due to the confusing divergence in this concept definition. In order to render clear this concept, we investigated a speech segment in Mandarin.

The new definition of speech rhythm is given. This definition is based on segmentation principle: voiced segment - unvoiced segment. The V/U-rhythm is defined as the sequence of these segments' durations. Set of normalised durations is the point set on interval [0, 1].

Speech can be defined as the human ability to communicate through a sequence of vocal sounds. Consequently, speech requires an emitter (the speaker) capable of generating the acoustic signal and a receiver (the listener) able to successfully decode the sounds produced by the emitter (i.e., the acoustic signal). Time plays a central role at both ends of

Speech rhythms and their neural foundations
Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2020The recognition of spoken language has typically been studied by focusing on either words or their constituent elements (for example, low-level features or phonemes). More recently, the 'temporal mesoscale' of speech has been explored, specifically regularities in the envelope of the acoustic signal that correlate with syllabic information and that ...

Periodic Rhythms in Conversational Speech
Language and Speech, 1979Spectral analysis of the on-off vocal activity patterns from six conversations indicates that spontaneous speech tends to alternate regularly between periods of high and low activity. These regular cycles are approximately 3 minutes and 6 minutes long.

Speech events do not typically exhibit the temporal regularity conspicuous in many musical rhythms. In the absence of such surface periodicity, hierarchical approaches to speech timing propose that nested prosodic domains, such as syllables and stress-delimited feet, can be modelled as coupled oscillators and that surface timing patterns reflect ...

Random Generation of Apparent Speech Rhythms
Language and Speech, 1972In order to illustrate the misinterpretation of time series data, simulated temporal patterns of vocalizations and pauses were generated from a table of random digits. These data exhibited precisely those characteristics which, when seen in graphs of actual spontaneous speech, have heretofore been taken as evidence for cognitive planning.

Perception and production studies of speech rhythm development in infants and children paint a complex picture of a universal early perceptual sensitivity to – and production mastery of – cues to rhythm, while the rate of acquisition of rhythmic properties ...

This monograph reconsiders the question of speech isochrony, the regular recurrence of (stressed) syllables in time, from an empirical point of view. It proposes a methodology for discovering isochrony auditorily in speech and for verifying it instrumentally in the acoustic laboratory.
