The Anatomy of the English Metrical Foot: Acoustics, Perception and Structure

By Tomasz Ciszewski

This book attempts to define the concept of the metrical foot in acoustic terms. It explores the possiblity that the foot can be described as a complex network of inter- and intravocalic relations between duration, pitch and intensity. The author also points out ways in which these empirical results may be incorporated into phonological theory.
