A Study of Syllable Timing and “ Stress ” in Malay Authors
Duration and F0 were studied in a set of 111 Malay words produced by two female native speakers of Malay in order to identify the citation pattern. This preliminary study seemed to provide strong evidence for penultimate stress. Seen in a wider context, the evidence collapsed, and it became clear that Malay does not have word stress at all. The search for syllable timing led to doubts whether t...
متن کاملSyllable Timing in Repetition Disfluency
This paper investigates rhythmic patterns in 3-cycle repetition disfluency (e.g. We went to the park and1 and2 and3 watched the birds...). Results show a harmonic timing effect: in a slow-speech set of corpus data, the distribution of and2 phases relative to the and1 to and3 interval is trimodal (χ = 20.1, p < .005), with modes approximating low-order harmonic ratios (1/3, 1/2, 2/3). A task-dyn...
متن کاملItalian in the No-Man's Land Between Stress-Timing and Syllable-Timing? Speakers are More Stress-Timed than Listeners
How syllable-timed is Italian? We investigate two contexts for vowel reduction, unstressed syllables and syllables in polysyllabic words. In a production experiment, a large sample of speakers from Tuscany read diand trisyllabic target words with different stress placement in a sentence context. Results showed vowel reduction in unstressed syllables, both in terms of duration and spectral quali...
متن کاملOn the Syllable Timing in Taiwan English
In this paper the syllable timing of Taiwan English is compared to that of American English. A variability index reflecting vowel length over utterances is computed based on acoustic measurements of Taiwan and American English speech. The results show that successive vowel durations are more equal in Taiwan English than in American English. Further, vowel durations are generally larger in Taiwa...
متن کاملCoupled Oscillator Planning Model of Speech Timing and Syllable Structure
A fundamental problem in understanding speech production is how the temporal coherence of the speech units associated with a given lexical unit is maintained despite changes due to speaking rate, prosodic embedding, and transient perturbations. To address this, a dynamical model of temporal planning of speech has been developed [21, 13, 26, 27). In this model, each speech unit (constriction ges...
