The P-center, or psychological moment of occurrence, of a syllable does not correspond to any obvious acoustic marker in the speech signal, nor can it be determined solely with reference to the phonetic composition of syllable. Syllable structure however, does playa role in explaining this timing phenomenon. It has been well established that the duration of the syllable onset (i.e., of the prevocalic consonants) behaves as a unit in its effect on P-center location; the same has been proposed for the syllable rhyme, although previous evidence on this point has been insufficient. The present two experiments confirm that the syllable rhyme behaves as a unit in its effect on P-center location, with a magnitude much less than that of the onset. Algorithms based only on an acoustic center of gravity cannot account for the present data. We conclude that descriptions of P-center location in speech stimuli must make crucial reference to the phonological structures, onset and rhyme, together with the duration of their acoustic realizations.
