Acoustic correlates of word stress: A cross-linguistic survey
Linguistics Vanguard, 2017AbstractThe study of the acoustic correlates of word stress has been a fruitful area of phonetic research since the seminal research on American English by Dennis Fry over 50 years ago. This paper presents results of a cross-linguistic survey designed to distill a clearer picture of the relative robustness of different acoustic exponents of what has ...

Stress in A SL: Empirical Evidence and Linguistic I ssues
Language and Speech, 1999The study of signed languages provides an opportunity to identify those characteristics of language that are universal and to investigate the effect of production modality (signed vs. spoken) on the grammar. Over time, American Sign Language (ASL) has accommodated itself to the production and perception requirements of the manual/visual modality ...

Computer recognition of linguistic stress patterns in connected speech
IEEE Transactions on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 1977This 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.

Putting stress into words: Health, linguistic, and therapeutic implications
Behaviour Research and Therapy, 1993When 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.

The effect of stress on the linguistic generalization of bilingual individuals
Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 1986Spanish-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

Robust stress classifier using adaptive neuro-fuzzy classifier-linguistic hedges
2017 International Conference on Robotics, Automation and Sciences (ICORAS), 2017Recent studies show that chronic stress exposure can induce a long list of diseases that are prevalent in human body. In this paper, researchers work on measuring and analyzing stress level using human biosignal, electrocardiogram (ECG). First, a few preprocessing steps and different analysis domains is done onto the raw data signals to clean and ...

Vocal effort as a cue for linguistic stress
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1994Intensity 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 ...

The role of the right hemisphere in the production of linguistic stress
Brain and Language, 1988Recent 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.

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 ...
