    PHONOLOGY

    Couper-Kuhlen, Elizabeth ENGLISH SPEECH RHYTHM. FORM AND FUNCTION IN EVERYDAY VERBAL INTERACTION Phonology & Phonetics John Benjamins 1993 viii, 346 pp. lang Cloth US:1 55619 293 2/EUR:90 272 5037 5 US$75.00/Hfl. 130.-- Reconsiders the question of speech isochrony, the regular recurrence of (stressed) syllables in time, from an empirical point of view. Suggests that speech rhythm patterns at turn transitions in everyday English conversation are not random occurrences or the result of a social- psychological adaptation process but are contextualization cues which figure systematically in the creation and interpretation of linguistic meaning in communication.
