Subject: complex consonantal clusters and vowel reduction for stress-timed languages From: "Faten B.A." <fatenpesq@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2008 13:59:49 +0100 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>------=_Part_1618_17733372.1202821189981 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Hi list, I'm interested to the rhythmic speech classification. All languages separation are based on the fact that stress-timed languages allow a complex consonantal clusters and a vowel reduction. I have found sufficient documents about the rhythmic classification but not efficient ones proving the "properties" of stress-timed language mentionned previously. Are their some studies in this way (complex cluster and vowel reduction)?
