Deliberative Stress in Linguistically Divided Belgium
, 2014 Political disagreement is the basic democratic condition in most Western societies, and few will deny that a diversity of perspectives and opinions is the driving force behind any democracy. However, there is a point beyond which the diversity might become too great to allow for any meaningful public debate. When identities oppose and interests collide,

Spectral balance as an acoustic correlate of linguistic stress
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1996 Although intensity has been reported as a reliable acoustical correlate of stress, it is generally considered a weak cue in the perception of linguistic stress. In natural speech stressed syllables are produced with more vocal effort. It is known that, if a speaker produces more vocal effort, higher frequencies increase more than lower frequencies.

Perception of predictable stress: A cross-linguistic investigation [PDF]
Journal of Phonetics, 2010 Abstract Previous studies have documented that speakers of French, a language with predictable stress, have difficulty distinguishing nonsense words that vary in stress position solely (stress “deafness”). In a sequence recall task with adult speakers of five languages with predictable stress (Standard French, Southeastern French, Finnish, Hungarian ...

Spectral balance as a cue in the perception of linguistic stress
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1997 In this study, the claim that intensity, as an acoustic operationalization of loudness, is a weak cue in the perception of linguistic stress is reconsidered. This claim is based on perception experiments in which loudness was varied in a naive way: All parts of the spectrum were amplified uniformly, i.e., loudness was implemented as intensity or gain ...

Tears and cheers: A narrative inquiry of a doctoral student’s resilience in study abroad
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 The existing literature has revealed many issues related to Ph.D. students’ wellbeing, such as anxiety and stress, which are likely to cause Ph.D. student attrition or dropout. As one of the key coping strategies against psychological burnout, resilience

A matter of emphasis: Linguistic stress habits modulate serial recall [PDF]
Memory & Cognition, 2014 Models of short-term memory for sequential information rely on item-level, feature-based descriptions to account for errors in serial recall. Transposition errors within alternating similar/dissimilar letter sequences derive from interactions between overlapping features.
