Syllable timing and vowel perception [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1978 Consonantal environment may aid in specifying vowel identity by supplying critical information about timing. Several vowel pairs in American English are distinguished by temporal as well as spectral variables, and these temporal differentia vary with articulatory rate. Two studies were designed to explore the following paradox: When consonantal formant

Il mito dell’isocronia moraica in giapponese: un’analisi quantitativa basata su corpora orali
Kervan. International Journal of Afro-Asiatic Studies, 2020 Pike (1945) classified the world languages into two types of rhythmic/prosodic patterns: stress-timed and syllable-timed. According to this classification, stress-timed languages, like English and German, tend to have isochronous interstress intervals ...

Rate vs. rhythm characteristics of cluttering with data from a “syllable-timed” language [PDF]
Journal of Fluency Disorders, 2021 Cluttering is a type of fluency disorder characterized by a speech rate which is perceived to be fast and/or irregular as well as by an abnormal speech rhythm. As far as we know, no research has been conducted as yet using objective measurements and acoustic phonetic description on the rhythm of cluttered speech.

Syllable Timing in Repetition Disfluency [PDF]
UC Berkeley Phonology Lab Annual Reports, 2006 This paper investigates rhythmic patterns in 3-cycle repetition disfluency (e.g. We went to the park and1 and2 and3 watched the birds...). Results show a harmonic timing effect: in a slow-speech set of corpus data, the distribution of and2 phases relative to the and1 to and3 interval is trimodal (χ 2 = 20.1, p < .005), with modes approximating low ...

An attempt is made to discover those features of linguists’ conceptual and perceptual systems which conspire to ...
