How Does Speech Timing Work?

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

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.
