Modeling linguistic stress patterns in connected speech

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1974
The purpose of this paper is to present a model of linguistic stress patterns in connected speech. By categorizing the syllables roughly into three levels—unstressed, stressed, and prominently stressed—the magnitude of stress for the unstressed and stressed syllables can be accurately predicted, according to its relative position in the phrase group ...

Vocal effort as a cue for linguistic stress

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1994
Intensity differences as a function of stress are mainly located above 0.5 kHz [A. M. C. Sluijter and V. J. van Heuven, Proc. ESCA Workshop on Prosody, Lund, 246–249 (1993)]. Results of a perception experiment bear out that intensity manipulations in this region provide stronger stress cues than uniform intensity differences do, and are close in ...

Testing linguistic stress rules with listeners' perceptions

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1979
Stress patterns provide information about the wording, phrasal divisions, syntactic categories, and grammatical relations in English sentences. This study attempts to experimentally verify alternative stress rules published by linguists like Chomsky, Halle, Bresnan, Lakoff, and Bolinger.

International Journal of Multilingualism and Languages for Specific purposes
Typological classification of languages according to suprasegmental systems recognizes pitch-accent, tonal, or/and stress systems.

Hemispheric asymmetry for linguistic prosody: A study of stress perception in Croatian

Brain and Cognition, 2004
The aim of the study was to test for possible functional cerebral asymmetry in processing one segment of linguistic prosody, namely word stress, in Croatian. The test material consisted of eight tokens of the word pas under a falling accent, varying only in vowel duration between 119 and 185 ms, attached to the end of a frame sentence.

The supraglottal articulation of prominence in English: Linguistic stress as localized hyperarticulation

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1995
The results of an articulatory investigation of the supraglottal correlates of linguistic prominence in English, and a proposal of a unified description of linguistic stress are reported. Three models of stress are evaluated: that prominence expands jaw movement, that stress expands an abstract articulatory scale involving the opening and closing of ...
