How Does Speech Timing Work?

该奖学金将支持完成一本书，题为“如何语音计时工作？”说话者为了各种意义相关的目的而操纵语音的持续时间。本书将讨论人们说话时产生的各种定时模式，并将评估如何控制语音发音以产生这些定时模式的理论。因为语音时间模式通常被称为有节奏的，它也将讨论语音节奏的现有定义，并将根据现有证据评估语音节奏的主张。这本书将感兴趣的任何人对如何语音生产工作，包括语言学家，心理语言学家，运动控制专家，语音技术专家，和语言治疗师。

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.
