The Pairwise Variability Index and Coexisting Rhythms in Language
Phonetica - Tập 66 Số 1-2 - Trang 64-77 - 2009
Abstract The Pairwise Variability Index (PVI) has been widely used as a metric
for quan-tifying rhythm in languages, often with a view to placing them on a
continuum between notional categories of stress-timing and syllable-timing. We
review the history of and rationale for the PVI, and point out three potential
anomalies in the way the PVI has been applied. Following up one of these we
apply the ...
Rhythm, Timing and the Timing of Rhythm
Phonetica - Tập 66 Số 1-2 - Trang 46-63 - 2009
Abstract This article reviews the evidence for rhythmic categorization that has
emerged on the basis of rhythm metrics, and argues that the metrics are
unreliable predictors of rhythm which provide no more than a crude measure of
timing. It is further argued that timing is distinct from rhythm and that
equating them has led to circularity and a psychologically questionable
conceptualization of rhy...
Phonetic Duration, Phonological Quantity and Prosodic Structure in Inari Saami
Phonetica - Tập 66 Số 4 - Trang 199-221 - 2010
Abstract Inari Saami, an endangered Finno-Ugric language of Northern Finland, is
reported to have a three-way surface contrast in consonant length (short,
halflong and long). We studied disyllabic words (C)V1CxV2(C) using data from 5
native speakers under two conditions, with short and long preceding vowel, V1,
and found support for the claim that Inari Saami has a ternary contrast in
consonant le...
The Effect of Local Speaking Rate on the Perception of Quantity in Estonian
Phonetica - Tập 60 Số 3 - Trang 187-207 - 2003
Abstract The Estonian language with its elaborate system of contrasts in
quantity, whose essentials are described in the paper, is used to investigate
human perception of distinctive contrasts in the duration of vowels, consonants
and larger units. In the experiments reported, the speaking rate of a preceding
or following syllable was manipulated in addition to that of a target V, C or VC
sequence...
Analysis of English Nonsense Syllable Recognition in Noise
Phonetica - Tập 60 Số 2 - Trang 129-157 - 2003
AbstractEnglish nonsense consonant-vowel-consonant syllables were presented at
four different signal-to-noise ratios for recognition. Information theory
methods are used to analyze the response data according to segment type and
phonological feature, and are consistent with previous studies showing that the
consonantal contrast of voicing is more robust than place of articulation,
word-initial con...
Production Constraints on Utterance-Final Consonant Characteristics in Babbling
Phonetica - Tập 54 Số 3-4 - Trang 172-186 - 1997
Abstract In order to evaluate hypotheses regarding production constraints on
final consonants in babbling, 721 utterance-final consonants produced by 6
infants in consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) syllables were examined and compared
with the preceding consonant in the CVC. Consistent with earlier studies, major
patterns were observed for each of the three main consonantal properties – place
and man...
Acquisition of Serial Complexity in Speech Production: A Comparison of Phonetic and Phonological Approaches to First Word Production
Phonetica - Tập 59 Số 2-3 - Trang 75-107 - 2002
AbstractComparison was made between performance-based and competence-based
approaches to the understanding of first word production. The
performance-related frame/content approach is representative of the
biological/functional perspective of phonetics in seeking explanations based on
motor, perceptual and cognitive aspects of speech actions. From this
perspective, intrasyllabic consonant-vowel (CV...
Temporal Organization of Articulatory Movements as a Multidimensional Phrasal Structure
Phonetica - Tập 38 Số 1-3 - Trang 66-83 - 1981
Abstract Recently obtained data from X-ray microbeam experiments indicate
inherently multidimensional articulatory phenomena with respect to temporal
characteristics of speech. Elementary gestures in different articulatory
dimensions for phonetic elements, typically representing demisyllabic
transitions, constitute the content of a phrasal frame.
