Abstract:

This book showcases the current state of the art of research on rhythm
in speech and language. Decades of study have revealed that bodily
rhythms are crucial for producing and understanding speech and
language, and for understanding their evolution and variability across
populations-not only adults, but also developmental and clinical
populations. It is also clear that there is perplexing dimensionality
and variability of rhythm within and across languages. This book
offers the scientific foundation for harmonizing physiological
universality and cultural diversity, fostering collaborative
breakthroughs across research domains. Its fifty chapters cover
physiology, cognition, and culture, presenting knowledge from
neuroscience, cognitive science, psychology, phonetics, and
communication research. Ideal for academics, researchers, and
professionals seeking interdisciplinary insights into the essence of
human communication. This title is also available as open access on
Cambridge Core.
