Unifying Stress Shift and Secondary Stress Phenomena with a Dynamical Systems Rhythm Rule
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rhythmic patterns related to Brazilian Portuguese adjacent stresses and secondary stress were investigated under a dynamical systems perspective. Paired utterances contrasting alleged stress clash vs non clash reveal a duration pattern difference in the opposite direction of the Rhythm Rule: the closer a syllable-sized unit is to phrase stress, the longer its duration. Polysyllabic words may exhibit initial lengthening as a possible indication of an initial secondary stress. The two phenomena are simulated by using the same parameters with the coupled-oscillators model of speech rhythm production.

The Phonetics and Phonology of the Rhythm Rule in Post-focal Position: Data from English
During the decade following the publication of Liberman & Prince’s (1977) article proposing a metrical solution to the phenomenon of ‘stress shift’ or the Rhythm Rule, a number of refinements have appeared in the literature (Giegerich 1983, Prince 1983, Hayes 1984, Selkirk 1984, Gussenhoven 1991). Up until recently, however (see, though, Cooper & Eady 1986), there has been very little phonetic ...

In this text we prove that in generalized shift dynamical system $(X^Gamma,sigma_varphi)$ for finite discrete $X$ with at least two elements, infinite countable set $Gamma$ and arbitrary map $varphi:GammatoGamma$, the following statements are equivalent: - the dynamical system $(X^Gamma,sigma_varphi)$ is Li-Yorke chaotic; - the dynamical system $(X^Gamma,sigma_varphi)$ has an scr...

The aim of this paper is twofold: (a) to investigate possible differences in durational patterns within phrase stress groups contrasting stress clash vs nonclash condition, and (b) to test the assumptions of a coupled-oscillator model of speech rhythm production. Measures of duration for relevant units in isolated read sentences uttered by four subjects were statistically analyzed and tonal eve...
متن کاملOptimal Iambs in Kashaya
This paper presents the three major ways that iambs play a role in Kashaya phonology: iambic lengthening, reshuffling of vowel length, and location of stress. Contrasting analyses of the phenomena are given in an ordered-rule Lexical Phonology approach and in constraint-based Optimality Theory. It is shown that only a nonderivational approach based on surface constraints succeeds in unifying th...
