Syllable weight and segmental durations in Finnish
At least four factors have been shown to have a reliable effect on segmental durations in Finnish (apart from such global effects as speech tempo and position within the utterance). The best known and most obvious of these factors is the quantity opposition, separately for vowels and consonants (and independently of word stress). Finnish thus has words like taka, taaka, takka, taakka, takaa, ta...
متن کاملExemplar-Based Production of Prosody: Evidence from Segment and Syllable Durations
We present results from experiments on the temporal properties of prosodic events, providing evidence that accumulations of exemplars implicitly define perceptual target regions in prosody production. We argue that z-scores of segment and syllable durations are the relevant perceptual dimension of these regions. To support this hypothesis, we present experimental results confirming that realiza...
متن کاملUniversal Restrictions on Syllable Structure: Evidence From Mandarin Chinese.
Across languages, certain onset clusters are systematically preferred (e.g., [Formula: see text], "[Formula: see text]" indicates preference), and speakers extend these preferences even to onsets that are unattested in their language. All such demonstrations, however, come from cluster-rich languages, so the observed preferences could reflect not universal linguistic restrictions but lexical an...
متن کاملProsodic interactions on segmental durations ingreek
The present study is an experimental investigation of the effects of prosodic variables on segmental durations in Greek. Nonsense disyllabic CVCV words were produced in a carrier sentence under different conditions of stress, focus and tempo. The results indicate: (1) the intrinsic durations of vowels are rather canonical in the order /iu<eo<a/; (2) the adjacent consonant /s/ shows complementar...
متن کاملProsodic effects on segmental durations in greek
This is an acoustic study of prosodic effects on segmental durations with reference to syllable structure, stress, focus and tempo in Greek. Disyllabic nonsense words with one, or two, or three consonants in the initial syllable were examined in stressed/unstressed, focused/unfocused and normal/fast tempo productions in a carrier sentence contexts. The results indicate that: (1) syllabic onset ...
