INTER-SUBJECT AGREEMENT IN RHYTHM EVALUATION FOR FOUR LANGUAGES (ENGLISH, FRENCH, GERMAN, ITALIAN)Inter-Subject Agreement • September 6th, 2007
This paper deals with the acoustic correlates of stress-timed and syllable-timed languages proposed by [8]. An experiment has been conducted in order to verify the validity of the three correlates using data of 4 languages (and some of their varieties). The novelty of this study consists in the fact that the segmentation of the acoustic data (based on the narrative "The North Wind and the Sun") was carried out independently by both authors.
