Dyslexia is associated with impaired neural representation of the sound structure of words (phonology). The "phonological deficit" in dyslexia may arise in part from impaired speech rhythm perception, thought to depend on neural oscillatory phase-locking to slow amplitude modulation (AM) patterns in the speech envelope. Speech contains AM patterns at multiple temporal rates, and these different...

after weakening of traditional presence of rhythm and rhyme in poem and introducing of new issues and challenges, the necessity of using the capacity and various tools for indicating concepts received more attention. poets by using different elements struggled to communicate with their audience properly. one of these elements derived from music is repetition which is so brilliant in ahmad matar...

The paper reports an initial study on computational poetry generation for Bengali. Bengali is a morpho-syntactically rich language and partially phonemic. The poetry generation task has been defined as a follow-up rhythmic sequence generation based on user input. The design process involves rhythm understanding from the given input and follow-up rhyme generation by leveraging syllable/phonetic ...

Prosodic rhythm in speech [the alternation of "Strong" (S) and "weak" (w) syllables] is cued, among others, by slow rates of amplitude modulation (AM) within the speech envelope. However, it is unclear exactly which envelope modulation rates and statistics are the most important for the rhythm percept. Here, the hypothesis that the phase relationship between "Stress" rate (∼2 Hz) and "Syllable"...
