Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rhythm, Vol. 6 When the demand for such a study is so great, and students are being urged to make a trial, that one who does attempt it, though he fail, cannot be accounted rash. The experimental study of rhythm which is to be presented in this paper, is an attempt to push the lines Of exact science a little farther forward into a field that borders more closely upon the field of aesthetics than any other that experimental psychologists have tried. The attempt is to be made to re duce rhythm to a more fundamental activity Of mind. The pleasure that individuals take in the rhythmic flow of words and sounds has been ascribed' by one to the Unifying Ac tivity Of the Feelings, by another to a Sense of Order, and by still another to The Feelings Of Equality. Such explanations as these do not meet the question at all, unless it can be shown that such activities or feelings are ultimate facts of mind. If they are ultimate facts Of the mind, it will be necessary, in order to make the explanation complete and valid, to show how they underlie other activities, for it is not to be supposed that any fundamental activity will manifest itself in a single phenomenon which bears no relation to other phenomena. Such does not seem to have been done by those who have Offered explanations Of the rhythms in speech, and the problem remains just where it was taken up. TO re gard rhythm as the manifestation or the form of the most fundamental activities Of mind, seems a clearer view and to Offer less difficulties than to regard it as an ultimate fact in itself. The problem, then, 1s to show how and to what extent it underlies mental activity, and, as preparatory to this, what part it plays in physiology and nature. Is there not some universal principle which is adequate as an explanation of rhythm in general? Rhythm is so universal a phenomenon in nature and in physiological activity, and underlies so completely speech, that I desire to call attention to some Of its manifestations in detail before presenting the experimental study.

Book The Basis of English Rhythm  Classic Reprint

Download or read book The Basis of English Rhythm Classic Reprint written by William Thomson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Basis of English Rhythm Any one who wishes to know the gist of what has been said on the subject of the basis of rhythm, without the labour of studying many volumes, will probably find this pamphlet useful. To say that it fully agrees with none of its predecessors is no disparagement of it, for no two of these agree with each other. It at least contains a correct record of the rhythmical phenomena of English speech as these present themselves to one who has tried to cast aside all prepossessions and foregone conclusions, and has simply listened to what he himself does and what he hears. My chief aim has been to establish the basic facts of English rhythm; the task of elucidating the relation of our rhythm and its variations, on the one hand, to thought, emotion and the expression of these, on the other, lies above and beyond my province, and it is doubtful, indeed, whether such a task can be profitably undertaken without some preliminary agree ment as to the underlying facts.

Book English Speech Rhythm

Download or read book English Speech Rhythm written by Elizabeth Couper-Kuhlen and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph reconsiders the question of speech isochrony, the regular recurrence of (stressed) syllables in time, from an empirical point of view. It proposes a methodology for discovering isochrony auditorily in speech and for verifying it instrumentally in the acoustic laboratory. In a small-scale study of an English conversational extract, the gestalt-like rhythmic structures which isochrony creates are shown to have a hierarchical organization. Then in a large-scale study of a corpus of British and American radio phone-in programs and family table conversations, the function of speech rhythm at turn transitions is investigated. It is argued that speech rhythm serves as a metric for the timing of turn transitions in casual English conversation. The articular rhythmic configuration of a transition can be said to contextualize the next turn as, generally speaking, affiliative or disaffiliative with the prior turn. The empirical investigation 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.

Book Laboratory Phonology 7

Download or read book Laboratory Phonology 7 written by Carlos Gussenhoven and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-08-22 with total page 741 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of recent papers in Laboratory Phonology approaches phonological theory from several different empirical directions. Psycholinguistic research into the perception and production of speech has produced results that challenge current conceptions about phonological structure. Field work studies provide fresh insights into the structure of phonological features, and the phonology-phonetics interface is investigated in phonetic research involving both segments and prosody, while the role of underspecification is put to the test in automatic speech recognition.

More than one pedagogic free - lance has already attempted to scale the apparently impregnable barrier of common usage, be hind which - to borrow the apt Simile dis claimed by Mr. James - the Andromeda of our transplanted speech has been entrenched by the American common school, the Ameri can newspaper, and the American Dutch man and Dago.

Book Rhythmical Subjects

Download or read book Rhythmical Subjects written by Laura Marcus and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-11-23 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing a developing fascination with rhythm's significance, its patterns, and its measures, across philosophy, psychology, science, and the whole range of arts, Rhythmical Subjects shows how and why attention to rhythm came to serve as connective tissue between fields of inquiry at a time when modern disciplines were still in the process of formation or consolidation. The concentration on 'rhythm' and its cognates largely arose, Laura Marcus demonstrates, from the desire to reclaim or retain human and natural measures in the face of the coming of the machine and the speed of technological innovation. Rhythmical Subjects uncovers the disparate routes by which rhythm acquired its newfound ability to link ancient and modern forms of intellectual inquiry, and to fathom and re-invigorate temporal articulations of modern subjective life. Among the numerous intellectual and artistic developments set in a new light by this brilliantly wide-ranging book are: the long line of philosophical and theoretical writing on rhythm, from Nietzsche to Bergson and their twentieth-century interlocutors; psychological explorations of rhythm as the fundamental law of life, from Herbert Spencer and Ralph Waldo Emerson to Elsie Fogarty; more experimental engagements with psychology's rhythms, from Wilhelm Wundt, Théodule Ribot, and Karl Groos to the aesthetic writings of Vernon Lee; the history of prosody; pioneering applications of rhythm studies to social and sexual reform, by Havelock Ellis, Marie Stopes, D. H. Lawrence, and Mary Austin (among others); Lebensreform movements and the contribution of Rudolf Steiner and Emile Jaques-Dalcroze; and numerous endeavours in artistic and critical innovation, from the small modernist magazines of Bloomsbury and Paris to art salons and dance studios across Britain, Continental Europe, and America.
