Dynamics of Functional Networks for Syllable and Word-Level Processing
Neurobiology of Language, 2023 Speech comprehension requires the ability to temporally segment the acoustic input for higher-level linguistic analysis. Oscillation-based approaches suggest that low-frequency auditory cortex oscillations track syllable-sized acoustic information and ...

P3b reflects periodicity in linguistic sequences [PDF]
, 2012 Temporal predictability is thought to affect stimulus processing by facilitating the allocation of attentional resources. Recent studies have shown that periodicity of a tonal sequence results in a decreased peak latency and a larger amplitude of the P3b

Speech Prosody 2022, 2022 Both sonority, via the Sonority Sequencing Principle (SSP), and timing, via the coupled oscillator model advanced within Articulatory Phonology (AP), have been invoked to define the syllable as a unit. Georgian presents challenges for both definitions. The irrelevance of the SSP for Georgian phonotactics is well documented, while it is unclear whether ...

The syllable as a prosodic unit in Japanese lexical strata: Evidence from text-setting
Glossa, 2017 Text-setting, the arrangement of language to music, is a common source of evidence in the debate over the relevance of the syllable in Japanese prosody (e.g., Labrune 2012).

The effect of pitch span on intonational plateaux [PDF]
, 2006 Previous research has indicated that the H (high) of a nuclear accent may be realized as a flat stretch of contour rather than as a single turning point. Both the duration of this plateau and its alignment within the accented syllable are affected by the

‘Pitch accent’ and prosodic structure in Scottish Gaelic: Reassessing the role of contact [PDF]
, 2015 This paper considers the origin of ‘pitch accents’ in Scottish Gaelic with a view to evaluating the hypothesis that this feature was borrowed from North Germanic varieties spoken by Norse settlers in medieval Scotland. It is shown that the ‘pitch accent’

Some acoustic and articulatory correlates of phrasal stress in Spanish [PDF]
, 2016 All spoken languages show rhythmic patterns. Recent work with a number of different languages (English, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, and French) suggests that metrically (hierarchically) assigned stress levels of the utterance show strong correlations
