How far can phonological properties explain rhythm measures?
- Abstract:
-
Speech rhythm has long been thought to reflect the phonological structure of a language (e.g., Roach 1982; Dauer 1983, 1987). Syllable structure is a key example: languages that allow complex consonant clusters would have a rhythm characterized by much more variability in consonant length than a language like Mandarin where consonant clusters are rare. We explored this experimentally by seeing how well a range of popular rhythm measures were predicted by the phonological properties of the tex...
