The perception of rhythm in speech may be affected by two factors: (1) a tendency, by speakers, to lengthen syllables as the utterance progresses; (2) a tendency, by listeners, to impose rhythmicity on speech sequences. Four tests were constructed in which each stimulus consisted of a sequence of six clicks or six syllables; each test contained time-warped stimuli. Time-warping was non-linear and progressive. Native speakers of English, French and Japanese were asked to rate each sequence as accelerating, regular, or decelerating. Results indicate that, for a range- of parameter values of the time- warping parameter, stimuli were perceived as regular. However, most of these stimuli were not acoustically isochronous, but decelerating. The native language of the listeners, the nature of the stimulus, and the order of the tests did not have any significant effect on the results. The difference limen for regularity was estimated, then measured through additional testing.
