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.

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.

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.

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.

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-

Stress in A SL: Empirical Evidence and Linguistic I ssues

Language and Speech, 1999
The 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 ...

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 ...

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.
