Overview
- Provides evidence on the phonology of the emerging standard IndE
- Based on a greater number of speakers with a greater number of first languages than previous acoustic studies on the phonology of IndE
- Studies speech rhythm from two perspectives: production and perception
- The first publication on speech rhythm based on a multidimensional approach, taking into account variability in duration, intensity, loudness, sonority, voicing, fundamental frequency and the use of pre-vocalic glottal stops (or absence of linking)
- Develops new methods for measuring speech rhythm that take into account variability in loudness, as well as simultaneous variability in loudness and duration
