Rhythm and syllable timing in phrase level stress patterning.

J W Folkins, C J Miller, F D Minifie

    Journal of Speech and Hearing Research
    |December 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Rhythm in speech, measured by finger tapping, reflects phrase stress patterns. Temporal differences in speech rhythm are evident, significant at fast rates, and vary between individuals.

    Area of Science:

    • Linguistics
    • Phonetics
    • Speech Science

    Background:

    • Syllable rhythm and phrase-level stress are crucial aspects of speech production.
    • Previous research suggests a link between rhythmic patterns and prosodic structure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between syllable rhythm and phrase-level stress patterning.
    • To determine if acoustic measurements of speech rhythm align with behavioral tapping measures.
    • To explore the characteristics of temporal differences in speech rhythm.

    Main Methods:

    • Participants performed a finger-tapping task to measure phrase rhythm.
    • Acoustic analysis of syllable timing was conducted.
    • Speech samples were analyzed at various speaking rates.

    Main Results:

    • Rhythm measurements from finger tapping correlated with phrase stress patterns.
    • Acoustic analysis revealed similar stress pattern relationships in syllable timing.
    • Temporal differences in speech rhythm were observed even when excluding syllable duration.
    • These temporal differences remained significant at fast speaking rates.
    • Significant variability in speech rhythm was found between different speakers.

    Conclusions:

    • Speech rhythm, as measured by both tapping and acoustics, is influenced by phrase-level stress.
    • Temporal aspects of speech rhythm are robust, evident across different speaking rates.
    • Individual speaker variability is a key factor in speech rhythm.
