Rhythm and stress intervals in Greek and Russian
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the results of a pilot study of stress interval durations in Greek and Russian. Native speakers of each language were recorded producing utterances in which the number of syllables between stressed syllables varied. The results showed a noticeable tendency towards isochrony in Greek but not in Russian, according to which there is an inverse relation between the number of syllables and syllabic durations in produced utterances. Second, lexical stress has a lengthening effect in Greek but hardly in Russian, while focus has no effect in either language.

Effect of Circadian Rhythm on Antiulcer Activity of Hydroxyzine in Cold Stress Induced Ulcer in Wistar Albino Rats
Circadian rhythms are driven by endogenous clock gene and affects in several gastric parameters causing ulcerogenesis. The study was aimed to evaluate the time dependent antiulcer activity of hydroxyzine in cold-stress-induced ulcer model. The ulcer protection effect of hydroxyzine was studied at various time intervals (9 am, 1 pm, 5 pm, 91 pm, 1 am and 5 am) in cold stress ulcer model using wi...
متن کاملThe role of stress in syllable monitoring
In a syllable monitoring experiment, Greek and English speakers (N = 20 per language) monitored for [ma] embedded in Greek real and nonce words; [ma] was word-initial, word-medial or word-final, and stressed, unstressed or rhythmically stressed. Both groups spotted stressed [ma] faster than unstressed [ma]; unstressed [ma] was spotted faster by Greek than English participants. Rhythmically stre...

The present study was a part of a long time screening experiment that includeda high number of wheat landraces (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivated in Greece, andfocused on the agronomic point of view and the drought adaptation for some ofthese landraces. One of the most acceptable ways for the assessment of droughtresistance is the examination of yield and yield components in different waterregim...
