“…of one syllable or more, are described as inter-ictic. Although triple-time rhythm is the exception in prose, it can be found in a number of English metres (see Weismiller 1989), and this article will be devoted to studying three contexts in which disyllabic intervals occur: metres where they are exceptional, metres where they are common, and metres where they are the norm. It will present a statistical analyse of a series of verse samples of each type, test modern explanations of triple time against the data produced, and draw some conclusions from it on the typology of English metres.…”

Anteriores artículos (Duffell 2002 y 2008) identificaron debilidades y omisiones en la descripción de la teoría paramétrica de los metros ingleses binarios, mientras que el presente examina los parámetros de los metros ternarios y de los dolniks. Sostiene que: (1) el lugar de prominencia de los metros ternarios deben ser posiciones fuertes y el tipo de prominencia el acento; y (2) los metros del dolnik usan muy poca tensión, dado que tienen otras fuentes incorporadas de variación métrica. Concluye notando, a partir de Tanlinskaja (1993), que los metros ingleses forman un continuo, y confi rmando la hipótesis de Hanson & Kiparsky (1966) de que los metros evolucionan para acoger el léxico de una lengua determinada y refl ejan sus cambios fonológicos.

Metrical perception of trisyllabic speech rhythms

The perception of duration-based syllabic rhythm was examined within a metrical framework. Participants assessed the duration patterns of four-syllable phrases set within the stress structure XxxX (an Abercrombian trisyllabic foot). Using on-screen sliders, participants created percussive sequences that imitated speech rhythms and analogous non-speech monotone rhythms. There was a tendency to equalize the interval durations for speech stimuli but not for non-speech. Despite the perceptual regularization of syllable durations, different speech phrases were conceived in various rhythmic configurations, pointing to a diversity of perceived meters in speech. In addition, imitations of speech stimuli showed more variability than those of non-speech. Rhythmically skilled listeners exhibited lower variability and were more consistent with vowel-centric estimates when assessing speech stimuli. These findings enable new connections between meter- and duration-based models of speech rhythm perception.
