The rhythm of catalan: an analysis based on phonetically balanced texts

open access: yesEstudios de Fonética Experimental, 2019
Linguists have classified languages according to their rhythmic properties in two main classes, namely, stress-timed and syllable-timed languages. According to existing studies, the position of Catalan on this scale is controversial.

Is the Prosodic Structure of Texts Reflected in Silent Reading? An Eye-Tracking Corpus Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Eye Movement Research
The aim of this study was to test the Implicit Prosody Hypothesis using a reading corpus, i.e., a text without experimental manipulation labelled with eye-tracking parameters. For this purpose, a bilingual Croatian–English reading corpus was analysed. In

The Phonological Rhythm of Emergent Language: A Comparison Between French and English Babbling

open access: yesKansas Working Papers in Linguistics, 1993
The phonological rhythm of French is characterized by a tendency to syllabic isochrony within an utterance and a clear final lengthening, whereas the rhythm of English is stress-timed.

Lexical stress constrains English-learning infants' segmentation in a non-native language. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Infants' ability to segment words in fluent speech is affected by their language experience. In this study we investigated the conditions under which infants can segment words in a non-native language.

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

Rapid gains in segmenting fluent speech when words match the rhythmic unit: evidence from infants acquiring syllable-timed languages

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2013
The ability to extract word-forms from sentential contexts represents an initial step in infants’ process towards lexical acquisition. By age 6 months the ability is just emerging and evidence of it is restricted to certain testing conditions.

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.

What is missing to confirm a typology of rhythm? : theoretical observations and a preliminary application to two Greek varieties

open access: yesNeograeca Bohemica
Since 1940, numerous eff orts have been made to either verify or refute the hypothesis of a rhythm typology, yet no defi nitive conclusions have been reached.

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...
