Speech events do not typically exhibit the temporal regularity conspicuous in many musical
rhythms. In the absence of such surface periodicity, hierarchical approaches to speech …

This dissertation presents a descriptive framework for suprasyllabic processes in speech
timing, and describes speech production experiments that investigate durational processes …

The modelling of timing in speech is of particular interest to language technology because it
represents an interface between cognitive and mechanical aspects in the processes of …

Timing is an essenîíal part of prosody, since it contributes to the semantic and syntactic
modulations of speech conveyed by accent and intonation. Theoretical and empirical …

One of the most significant challenges in the study of speech production is to acquire a
theoretical understanding of how speakers coordinate articulatory movements. A variety of …
