Experimental evidence has fully refuted the stress- and syllable-timing hypothesis (SSH) of speech rhythms. However, it remains the prevailing view and still features in accounts of the rhythms of speech because no other hypothesis matches its deceptively bewitching power. This paper, written from a discourse perspective, proposes a replacement for SSH: spontaneous speech is functionally irrhythmic. Although the formal events of speech – phones, strong and weak syllables, words, phrases – occur ‘in time’ (they can be plotted on a time line) they do not occur ‘on time’, (they do not occur at equal time intervals). English is not stress-timed, French is not syllable-timed. The rare patches of rhythmicality are either ‘elected’ – as in scanning readings of poetry and the uttering of proverbs – or ‘coincidental’ – the side-effects of higher order choices made by speakers. Coincidental rhythmicality is most likely to occur where there are equal numbers of syllables between stresses. In spontaneous speech, the speaker’s attention is on planning and uttering selections of meaning in pursuit of their social-worldly purposes, and this results in an irrhythmic norm which aids comprehension.

Nurkka, Niina; Viiri, Jouni; Littleton, Karen S.; Lehesvuori, Sami (Elsevier BV, 2014)The purpose of this study was to characterise the nature and purpose of different types of classroom discourse and to explore how the rhythm of classroom discourse provides a cumulative frame for the teaching of science. ... -
Multidimensional Skyrme-density-functional Study of the Spontaneous Fission of 238U
Sadhukhan, J.; Mazurek, K.; Dobaczewski, Jacek; Nazarewicz, W.; Sheikh, J.A.; Baran, A. (Faculty of Physics, Astronomy and Applied Computer Science, Jagiellonian University, 2015)We determined the spontaneous fission lifetime of 238U by a minimization of the action integral in a three-dimensional space of collective variables. Apart from the mass-distribution multipole moments Q20 (elongation) and ... -
Beta Rhythm Modulation in the Evaluation of Cortical Sensorimotor Function
Illman, Mia (Jyväskylän yliopisto, 2023)The cortical ~20-Hz beta rhythm that arises mainly from the primary sensorimotor (SM1) cortex reacts to voluntary movements or motor imagery as well as to somatosensory stimuli. The decrease in beta power shortly after ... -
