Abstract

[The problem of the rhythm of speech leads to the more basic question of the accent. Experimental phonetics enables us to attack this question by putting objective measurements of quantities in the place of subjective judgments of qualities. Certain basic factors constitute the flow of speech energy. A different distribution of this energy determines the place and the nature of the accented portions of speech.]
