Syllable Timing and Pausing: Evidence from Cantonese
Language and Speech, 2009We 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.

Effects of Metrical Foot Structure on Syllable Timing
Language and Speech, 1988The 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 ...

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 ...

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
