Rhythmic Variability and Swedish-Estonian Language Contact
Pairwise Variability Index (PVI) gives a measure of the amount of variation between adjacent speech units, making it possible to arrange languages in a continuum of relative variability. In the present study, the PVI of Estonian speakers living in Sweden for over 60 years was compared to the PVI of Swedish and of Estonian spoken in Estonia. The results show that (1) PVI is significantly higher ...

In treating the subject of musical language, a Persian musician would be intrinsically drawn to the structural similarities between the Persian music and language. Indeed Persian music and language are extremely related in their metrics, intonations and structural phrases (syntax). Although we will draw upon this relationship, our aim in this article is to present “music as a language,” c...
متن کاملDisentangling sources of rhythmic variability between dialects
Speech rhythm is highly variable. Previous studies reported variability between languages, dialects, speakers, and labelers. Research further revealed an effect of sentence in the rhythmic characteristics of speakers of the same language. In the present study we tested whether the effect of sentence material is constant across varieties of the same language. We addressed this question by an exa...
متن کاملLanguage Discrimination and Rhythm Classes: Evidence from Portuguese
This paper reports on two discrimination experiments involving Portuguese data. The findings support the prosodic contrast between EP and BP and stress the role played by intonation in this contrast. They also show that the perceptual distance between EP and BP is smaller than that between EP and Dutch. The robust distinction between EP and Dutch provides evidence for different perceptual weigh...
