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.

Discrimination of Linguistic Stress in Early Infancy

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1977
The high-amplitude sucking (HAS) paradigm was used to evaluate the ability of one- to four-month-old infants to discriminate two artificially synthesized disyllables (/ba bá and bá ba/) which differed solely in the location of perceived stress. One hundred and twenty infants were tested in two experiments.

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.

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.

The effect of stress on the linguistic generalization of bilingual individuals

Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 1986
Spanish-English coordinate bilinguals were subjects in a GSR linguistic conditioning experiment using strong and mild buzzer conditions and spoken stimuli. Each subject was randomly assigned to one of two lists of words and one of two levels of buzzer sounds. A Spanish word from the Spanish list and an English word from the English list functioned as a

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.
