The reality of stress-timing

ELT Journal, 2008
According to some accounts, the linguistic reality of stress-timing in English is questionable and the existence of this type of language rhythm is rejected as a perceptual illusion. In this article, the temporal characteristics of English are re-analysed in the light of current linguistic research, and a range of implications for pronunciation ...

Rhythmic constraints on stress timing in English

Journal of Phonetics, 1998
Abstract Rhythm in speech is interpreted as the hierarchical organization of temporally coordinated prosodic units. This is a departure from conventional phonetic approaches which have focused on isochrony. Speech cycling, a novel experimental vehicle for investigating rhythmic constraints, is introduced.

Stress + Time = Pain

1992
Stress is cumulative and builds up over time. Stress-related illnesses have become a major health problem during this century. It is estimated that well over half of all medical complaints and many psychological problems are related to an inability to manage the stresses of daily life. Stress itself is not a new phenomenon, but the types of stress that

Creative Regionalism: Governance for Stressful Times

State and Local Government Review, 2010

In such cases, the benefits from addressing them usually are confined to the citizens living within the government's limits. For example, waste disposal is handled by picking

Stress-Time Approximation

2014
While the method provided in Chapter 7 is quite useful in determining time to failure in the presence of water (100% relative humidity), most analysts will not have access to the value of B for any material, let alone a new one, without the dynamic fatigue test, but may have access to the value of N and hence N' from the literature.

A model of the stress time dependence of SILC

1999 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium Proceedings. 37th Annual (Cat. No.99CH36296), 2003
A number of groups have reported that the stress-induced leakage current (SILC) follows a power law dependence on the stress time. In this study, we observed that the power-law behaviour is only an approximation of the fast rising part of a more complex behaviour. SILC rises during the initial stress stage and saturates after a long stress time.
