Bulgarian Speech Rhythm: Stress-Timed or Syllable-Timed?
Journal of the International Phonetic Association, 1997Experimental work on Bulgarian speech rhythm has failed to determine which of the two “traditional” rhythmic categories the language belongs to. Using the model put forward by Dauer (1987), the present paper attempts to characterise the rhythm of Bulgarian in scalar rather than in dichotomous terms.

Conversational speech of school-age children after syllable-timed speech treatment for stuttering
International Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 2021Purpose: The purpose of this laboratory study was to investigate whether rhythmic speech was primarily responsible for stuttering reductions in four school-aged children after the instatement stage of the Westmead Program of syllable-timed speech (STS) intervention. The study was designed to inform further development of the program.

Rhythm and Syllable Timing in Phrase Level Stress Patterning
Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1975The rhythm of syllables in repetitions of a phrase was measured with a finger-tapping task. These rhythm measurements were shown to vary with phrase level stress patterning. However, this relationship was not invariant. Acoustic measurements of the time between syllables showed stress pattern relationships similar to those observed in the rhythm ...

Rhythmic speech and stuttering reduction in a syllable-timed language
Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2018Speaking rhythmically, also known as syllable-timed speech (STS), has been known for centuries to be a fluency-inducing condition for people who stutter. Cantonese is a tonal syllable-timed language and it has been shown that, of all languages, Cantonese is the most rhythmic (Mok, 2009).

Q uantitative Characterizations of Speech Rhythm: Syllable-Timing in Singapore English
Language and Speech, 2000British English and Singapore English are said to differ in rhythmic patterning. British English is commonly described as stress-timed, but Singapore English is claimed to be syllable-timed. In the present paper, we explore the acoustic nature of the suggested cross-varietal difference. In directly comparable samples from British English and Singapore

Spanish as a “syllable-timed” language
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1986Spanish has been characterized as “syllable-timed” as opposed to English and German, which have been called “stress-timed” languages. This report describes a search for phonetic correlates of the term “syllable-timed.” Measurements were made of the relative durations of the stressed and unstressed vowels in polysyllabic words spoken by four speakers of

Analog I/O nets for syllable timing
Speech Communication, 1990Abstract Back-propagation has been used to train a small network for the prediction of syllable-level duration in a text-to-speech system. Both input and output are in the form of analog values, and the net performs a multiple regression function.

Listener preferences for stuttered and syllable-timed speech production
Journal of Fluency Disorders, 1979Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine how “naive” listeners react to syllable-timed speech production. Three stutterers were videotape recorded while speaking in their usual manner and pacing their speech at 100 words per minute (wpm) and 70 wpm. Twenty-three listeners rated the speech samples as to which they preferred to hear.

Effects of metrical structure on syllable timing II.
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2010Fourakis and Monahan [J. Linguist. (1988)] examined the effects of two different types of metrical foot (iamb and anapest) on syllable timing in 3 ft utterances. These utterances were comprised of three iambs, three anapests, and every possible combination of the two types.

Sentence size and syllable timing in aphasia
Brain and Language, 2007Abstract Syllable durations were evaluated in sentences of two lengths produced by patients with fluent and nonfluent aphasia. The fluent group exhibited deviant timing in final syllables in both stimulus sizes and an inability to distinguish between medial and final syllables in long stimuli.
