<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Dear all,<br><br>
Is anybody familiar with any published studies of rap, examining the
relationship between musical beat and lexical stress? I'd be
interested in such studies for English, or for any other
language.<br><br>
Background: I have observed possible differences across different
dialects of Indonesian, which seem to be related to their different
stress patterns, and I would like to know whether such correlations
reflect more general cross-linguistic tendencies. Of course, many
such studies exist for other poetic and musical genres, but my interest
here is specifically in rap, ie. "spoken" language associated
with a typically binary beat.<br><br>
Thanks,<br><br>
