Dear Linguists A few weeks ago I posted on the List asking for any sources (especially post 1990) on the stressed/syllable-timing issue. I promised to post a summary of the responses I received. I did not get a lot of reaction, but the posts that I did receive were very helpful. Before I provide a list of the sources I were informed about, two general comments: (i) Most of the linguists who responded mentioned that the division of languages into the two rhythmic categories is not accepted widely anymore. (ii) One of the reasons why I did not find a lot of post 1990 sources on my own initial search, was that I used "stress", "syllable" and "timing" as search terms. Since this distinction is not used widely any more, these search terms do not yield a lot of sources. Using "rhythm" as search term yielded many more and more recent sources. Here is a list of the more recent sources I was provided with by those who responded (the bibliographies of these articles and books are of course also valuable in providing other recent sources): Auer, P. 1991. Is rhythm-based typology possible? A study on the role of prosody in phonological typology. Universitaet Konstanz, KontRI Working Papers 21. Beckman, M.E. 1992. Evidence for speech rhythms across languages. (In Tokhura, Y., Vatikiotis-Bateson, E. & Sagisaka, Y., eds. Speech perception, production and linguistic structure. Tokyo: Ohmsa. p. 457-463.) Couper-Kuhlen, E. 1993. English speech rhythm. John Benjamins. Cumins, F. & Port, R.F. 1998. Rhythmic constraints on stress timing in English. Journal of Phonetics, 26(2):145-171.
