An acoustic analysis of the rhythm of Yemeni Arabic
Journal of Modern Languages, 2019 Previous studies have found that different Arabic dialects display different degrees of stress-timing features forming a continuum that ranges from more stress-timed to less stress-timed Arabic dialects.

Functional timing or rhythmical timing, or both? A corpus study of English and Mandarin duration
Frontiers in Psychology, 2023 It has been long held that languages of the world are divided into rhythm classes so that they are either stress-timed, syllable-timed or mora-timed. It is also known for a long time that duration serves various informational functions in speech.

Segmentation of Rhythmic Units in Word Speech by Japanese Infants and Toddlers
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 When infants and toddlers are confronted with sequences of sounds, they are required to segment the sounds into meaningful units to achieve sufficient understanding. Rhythm has been regarded as a crucial cue for segmentation of speech sounds.

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 ...

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

Stød Timing and Domain in Danish
Languages, 2022 This study investigates the timing of stød, a type of phonological nonmodal phonation related to creaky voice in Danish, relative to the syllable. Stød-bearing syllables are characterized by high fundamental frequency (F0) and modal phonation at the ...

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 ...

Relationship between the Sequencing and Timing of Vocal Motor Elements in Birdsong. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Accurate coordination of the sequencing and timing of motor gestures is important for the performance of complex and evolutionarily relevant behaviors. However, the degree to which motor sequencing and timing are related remains largely unknown. Birdsong

Acoustic Correlations of Speech Rhythms in Persian Based on Variability of Between-speakers Characteristics [PDF]
نشریه پژوهشهای زبانشناسی, 2020 The durational variability of phonetic intervals is considered as one of the properties of speech rhythm. These intervals include segmental, vowel, consonantal, vocalic, intervocalic, voiced, unvoiced, syllable, and syllable peak intervals.
