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.

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.

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.

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 ...

Linguistic experience modifies lexical stress perception

Journal of Child Language, 1983
ABSTRACTSensitivity to differences in lexical stress pattern was examined in 4- and 5-year-old monolingual French-, German- and Swedish-speaking children. For most stimulus discriminations, the 5-year-olds outperformed their 4-year-old comparison groups. For a discrimination involving a trisyllabic distinction not found in French, however, the French 5-

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 ...

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.

Linguistic Analysis to Assess Medically Related Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms

Psychosomatics, 2001
The authors examined the presence of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) in 20 patients requiring ventilation after acute respiratory distress. The subjects completed a semistructured interview about their ventilation experience that was subject to content and linguistic analysis.

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.

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.
