The Effects of Linguistic Stress on ASL Signs

Language and Speech, 1987
Target ASL signs were elicited in stressed and unstressed contexts for ten different types of sign movement. Previous reports that stressed signs tended to change the size and intensity of their movements were only partially confirmed. No single cue emerged as the primary indicator of stress.

Measuring linguistic stress in a continuum

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1975
This study compares the results of three scaling procedures for estimating the magnitudes of linguistic stress applied syllable by syllable to sentence-length utterances, The three scaling procedures included a continuous scale, a three-level forced-choice procedure, and a rank-ordering procedure.

Occupational stress in forensic linguistic practice

Journal of Applied Linguistics and Professional Practice, 2020
As an occupational stressor, working with disturbing material can lead to burnout and vicarious trauma. A profession where exposure to potentially disturbing data tends to be common is that of the forensic linguist, both as an academic researcher and an expert witness in investigative and court settings.

The effect of stress on the linguistic generalization of bilingual individuals

Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 1986
Spanish-English coordinate bilinguals were subjects in a GSR linguistic conditioning experiment using strong and mild buzzer conditions and spoken stimuli. Each subject was randomly assigned to one of two lists of words and one of two levels of buzzer sounds. A Spanish word from the Spanish list and an English word from the English list functioned as a

The linguistic relevance of intensity in stress

Lingua, 1955
Abstract The authors show by means of several arguments and experiments that in so-called dynamic stress intensity cannot be considered as a factor, regardless whether this term is taken in an acoustic or in an articulatory sense.

Stutter events and linguistic stress

Journal of Fluency Disorders, 1984
Abstract In the research reporting the concurrence between stuttering and linguistic stress the identification of stress loci has been established regularly through intuitive judgment of the experimenter. The present study reports on a more objective determination of stress loci, and their concurrence with stutter events, which strengthens ...

Linguistic stress judgments of language learning disabled students

Journal of Communication Disorders, 1987
This study compared the ability of language learning disabled children and sex/age matched normals to judge the correctness of linguistic stress. Subjects were presented with prerecorded pairs of question-answer trials. In one series they were asked to judge the appropriateness of linguistic stress for each pair.

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 ...

The role of the right hemisphere in the production of linguistic stress

Brain and Language, 1988
Recent research has proposed a general prosodic disturbance associated with right hemisphere damage (RHD), one encompassing both affective and linguistic functions. The present study attempted to explore whether the ability to produce linguistic prosody was impaired in this patient population.

Computer modeling and estimation of linguistic stress patterns

ICASSP '76. IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2005
The concept of linguistic stress is vital in research in speech perception, speech production and computer speech recognition. The research described here has produced a new and reliable way, using computer analysis, to estimate the linguistic stress levels on individual syllables in complex utterances.
