How Does Speech Timing Work?

该奖学金将支持一本书的完成，题为“如何演讲计时工作？”'.说话者出于各种与意义相关的目的操纵语音持续时间。这本书将讨论人们说话时产生的各种计时模式，并将评估如何控制语音清晰度以产生这些计时模式的理论。由于语音的时间模式通常被称为节奏，它也将讨论语音节奏的可用定义，并将评估语音的节奏性要求对现有的证据。这本书将是感兴趣的任何人在如何言语生产工程，包括语言学家，心理语言学家，运动控制专家，言语技术专家，和言语治疗师。

The fellowship will support the completion of a book, titled 'How Does Speech Timing Work?'. Speakers manipulate speech sound durations for a variety of meaning-related purposes. This book will discuss the kinds of timing patterns people produce when they speak, and will evaluate theories of how speech articulation is controlled to produce these timing patterns. Because speech timing patterns are often termed rhythmic, it will also discuss available definitions of speech rhythm, and will evaluate rhythmicity claims for speech against available evidence. This book will be of interest to anyone interested in how speech production works, including linguists, psycholinguists, motor control specialists, speech technologists, and speech therapists.
