Computer recognition of linguistic stress patterns in connected speech

IEEE Transactions on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 1977
This paper presents an automatic method which estimates the magnitude of syllable stress in continuous speech using a composite of three acoustic parameters: fundamental frequency, intensity, and duration. Results show that fundamental frequency is the most prominent cue of stress, followed by intensity and vowel duration.

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.

Putting stress into words: Health, linguistic, and therapeutic implications

Behaviour Research and Therapy, 1993
When individuals are asked to write or talk about personally upsetting experiences, significant improvements in physical health are found. Analyses of subjects' writing about traumas indicate that those whose health improves most tend to use a higher proportion of negative emotion words than positive emotion words.

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.

Intergroup Threat and the Linguistic Intergroup Bias: A Stress Biomarker Study

Journal of Language and Social Psychology, 2018
This study investigates the physiological consequences of derogation. In the face of an ingroup threat, an opportunity to derogate the outgroup is associated with increases in salivary cortisol, a stress biomarker. These findings support the intergroup anxiety model, which suggests that following an anxiety-inducing threatening experience, outgroup ...

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 ...

The reliability of ratings by linguistically untrained subjects in response to stress in speech

Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 1974
To determine the reliability with which untrained raters could identify stress in the speech of a single person, two forms of the same material, (1) speech broken into short utterances and (2) speech in its conversational context, were presented to 40 linguistically naive psychology students who were asked to underline those syllables that they ...
