Anisman, Paul H. – Bilingual Review, 1975
The research described here confirmed the hypothesis that for each variable, the Hispanic variant is realized in higher percentages in syllable-timed utterances and that the non-Hispanic variant is realized in higher percentages in stress-timed utterances. (Author/RM)

Feldstein, Ronald F. – Glossa, 1975
Because of neo-acute stress--or transferred acute stress--long vowel prosody in West Slavic had a special evolution. Two kinds of long vowel evolution are examined. The nature of transitionality across Slavic territory from tonal opposition to distinctive stress placement is pointed out. (SC)

Contreras Jurado, Antonio – Yelmo, 1975
Considers the effects of the loss of the plural morpheme 's' in the Spanish dialect known as oriental Andalusian. The openness of the final vowels is now considered the plural marker but this seems to be only a transitory replacement for the missing plural. (Text is in Spanish.) (TL)

Faber, David – Journal of Linguistics, 1987
Discusses the accentuation of two types of sentence in English: (1) straightforward intransitive sentences, and (2) intransitive sentences embedded in the frame "It's just NP noun phrase[ V verb[-ing." Modifications to Gussenhoven's (1983) Sentence Accent Assignment Rule (SAAR) are suggested based on large groups of exceptions of the SAAR.…

Meador, Diane L. – ProQuest LLC, 1996
Previous investigations have sought to determine how listeners might locate word boundaries in the speech signal for the purpose of lexical access. Cutler (1990) proposes the Metrical Segmentation Strategy (MSS), such that only full vowels in stressed syllables and their preceding syllabic onsets are segmented from the speech stream. I report the…

Snow, David – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1998
This study examined falling tone and final syllable lengthening in the spontaneous speech of 10 4-year-old children with specific language impairment (SLI). The falling tone was observed in 9 of the 10 SLI children, despite deficits in segmental phonology, morphosyntax, and mean length of utterance, suggesting a possible dissociation between…

Braun, Bettina – Language and Speech, 2006
It is acknowledged that contrast plays an important role in understanding discourse and information structure. While it is commonly assumed that contrast can be marked by intonation only, our understanding of the intonational realization of contrast is limited. For German there is mainly introspective evidence that the rising theme accent (or…

Lee, Borim; Guion, Susan G.; Harada, Tetsuo – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2006
The production of unstressed vowels in English by early and late Korean- and Japanese-English bilinguals was investigated. All groups were nativelike in having a lower fundamental frequency for unstressed as opposed to stressed vowels. Both Korean groups made less of an intensity difference between unstressed and stressed vowels than the native…

Bethin, Christina Yurkiw – 1998
The history of Slavic prosody gives an account of Slavic languages at the time of their differentiation and relates these developments to issues in phonological theory. It is first argued that the syllable structure of Slavic changes before the fall of the jers and suggests that intra- and intersyllabic reorganization in Late Common Slavic was far…

Walker, Douglas C. – Language, 1975
The phonological rule that assigns stress at the word level in Modern French is examined in an effort to show how a consideration of productivity, morphological relatedness, and grammatical conditioning motivates a phonetically determined stress rule for Modern French. (Author/RM)

't Hart, J.; Collier, R. – Journal of Phonetics, 1975
The following three levels of intonation are described, and their relationship is discussed: 1) a concrete and atomistic level of the perceptually relevant pitch movements, 2) a concrete and global level of the audible pitch contours and the measurable fundamental frequency curves, and 3) an abstract and global level of intonation patterns.…

Camarata, Stephen M. – 1988
A case study of a 2-year-old progressing normally in speech development provides evidence of suprasegmental marking of the plural, thought to be adopted only in language-impaired children. Acoustic analyses of the durations and intensity of elicited words indicate that the child had adopted a suprasegmental strategy for marking the singular/plural…
