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 ...

Stumbling Blocks: Stress Testing the Robustness of Machine-Generated Text Detectors Under Attacks

Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics
The widespread use of large language models (LLMs) is increasing the demand for methods that detect machine-generated text to prevent misuse. The goal of our study is to stress test the detectors' robustness to malicious attacks under realistic scenarios.

WHISTRESS: Enriching Transcriptions with Sentence Stress Detection

Interspeech
Spoken language conveys meaning not only through words but also through intonation, emotion, and emphasis. Sentence stress, the emphasis placed on specific words within a sentence, is crucial for conveying speaker intent and has been extensively studied ...

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-

Cues to stress in English spelling

Journal of Memory and Language, 2020
How do skilled readers of English decide which syllable of a word to stress? In four behavioral studies, we examined this issue using disyllabic nonwords that varied in number of initial and final consonants.

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 ...
