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

Quantitative perspectives in Cognitive Linguistics

Benjamins Current Topics, 2019
As a usage-based approach to the study language, cognitive linguistics is theoretically well poised to apply quantitative methods to the analysis of corpus and experimental data.

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.

Linguistics Features of Three British Female Beauty Youtubers

Vivid Journal of Language and Literature, 2019
This article concerns with the characteristics of the language of three British female Youtubers. It is aimed in particular to find out women's linguistic features in their language based on Lakoff's theory (1975) and the functions of each features ...

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.

Acoustic correlates of word stress: A cross-linguistic survey

Linguistics Vanguard, 2017
AbstractThe 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, 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 ...

Computer recognition of linguistic stress patterns in connected speech

IEEE Transactions on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 1977
This 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.

The role of vowel parameters in defining lexical and subsidiary stress in Ukrainian

Poznan Studies in Contemporary Linguistics, 2018
Recent work suggests that Ukrainian represents a typologically rare bidirectional stress system with internal lapses, i.e. sequences of unstressed syllables in the vicinity of primary stress (Łukaszewicz and Mołczanow 2018a, b).
