| | INVESTIGATING PEAK TIMING IN NATURALLY-OCCURRING SPEECH. |
 | | He cites evidence from Swedish which shows that the starred tone within word accents is the point most reliably anchored in the stressed syllable; other f0 points, such as the focal H accent, may not be critically timed to specific syllables but will be adjusted in alignment according to the segmental material available. | | | It may be that they intuitively factor out the discoursal effect on peak timing in what is phonologically classed as a level tone (or high head), but it is not clear what additional acoustic cues distinguish this perceptually from an onset which they categorise as a rising tone. | | | The authors favour an interpretation of their results based on the "sonority profile" of the syllable, recognising that the closing gesture of such a profile is extended by prosodic lengthening. |

| | The relative time of the low tone to the next high tone varied randomly over the range.2 -.7 (observed phase = the duration in milliseconds between the H and L tones divided by the duration from one H tone to the following one). | | | Naturally, lacking a realistic theory of timing and given such a difficult test to meet, experimental studies have repeatedly failed to support hypotheses of isochrony. | | | From the perspective of traditional linguistics, such implementation processes may hold some interest, but they are in no way the natural home of human language and, in any case, are not directly relevant to it. |

| | English has gone through fundamental structural changes since the times of its first recording and today occupies a position within the group of Germanic languages that is best described as peripheral. | | | It can be shown that the distribution of such 'free self-forms' is subject to highly regular semantic and pragmatic constraints and that their actual availability is closely connected to the fact that self-forms can have a reflexive as well as an intensive use (John criticized himself vs. the director himself). | | | Influence from Nordic languages can mainly be found in the lexicon with words like sky, skin, skill, they, their, them clearly pointing to Nordic origin. |

| | The general structure of a syllable consists of three parts: the onset, the nucleus, and the coda. | | | On the other hand, other languages are much more restricted; Japanese, for example, only allows /n/ and a generic "lengthening segment" in a coda, and has no consonant clusters at all (the onset is composed of at most one consonant). | | | Phonotactic rules determine which sounds are allowed or disallowed in each part of the syllable. |
