Speech Rhythm: Its Relation to Performance Universals and Articulatory Timing

Allen, George D.

Journal of Phonetics, 3, 2, 75-86, Apr 75

The relationship between the rhythms of spoken language and the rhythms of other human behavior is examined in terms of: (1) types of rhythmic structures observed, (2) rate of succession of rhythmic units, (3) a perceptual tendency equalization of physically unequal intervals, and (4) the variability of rhythmic motor action.
