Syllable Timing and Pausing: Evidence from Cantonese

Language and Speech, 2009
We examined the relationship between the acoustic duration of syllables and the silent pauses that follow them in Cantonese. The results showed that at major syntactic junctures, acoustic plus silent pause durations were quite similar for a number of different syllable types whose acoustic durations differed substantially.

Perception of syllable timing by prebabbling infants

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1986
Adults hear alternating syllables with isochronous syllable onset–onset times as having a long–short, alternating rhythm when the syllables differ in initial consonant. This occurs because adults attend to syllable-internal events, called the ‘‘P centers’’ or ‘‘stress beats,’’ rather than to syllable onsets.

Effects of Metrical Foot Structure on Syllable Timing

Language and Speech, 1988
The durations of syllabic intervals in sentences with different rhythmic structure were examined. Rhythmic structure was defined as the organization of stressed and unstressed syllables into metrical feet — in this case, iambs and anapests. Each sentence contained three metrical feet, and each foot could be either an iamb or an anapest; hence, there ...

Bulgarian Speech Rhythm: Stress-Timed or Syllable-Timed?

Journal of the International Phonetic Association, 1997
Experimental 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, 2021
Purpose: 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.
