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.
