Spoken Language Recognition: From Fundamentals to Practice (2013, background): “Phonetic repertoire, phonotactics, rhythm, and intonation are all parts of the prelexical information [108].”
Cross-linguistic influence in L3 phonological acquisition (2010, background): “Examples of the latter are Mandarin, Spanish, French, Catalan, Japanese and Italian (Grabe & Low, 2002 ; Ramus, Nespor, & Mehler, 1999 ).”
Durational variability in speech and the rhythm class hypothesis (2005, background): “The standard deviations published by Ramus et al. (1999) showed that rhythmically mixed languages such as Catalan and Polish exhibit complementary levels of vocalic and intervocalic variability.”
Greek Phonetics: The State of the Art (2007, background): “ΔC–the metrics of Ramus et al. (1999)—for their data and found that if those metrics are used,”
Rhythm, Timing and the Timing of Rhythm (2009, background): “…previous studies and the study in progress briefly presented here shows that rhythmically prototypical languages can be separated along some dimension with varying degrees of success [Ramus et al., 1999; Grabe and Low, 2002; Lee and McAngus Todd, 2004; Rouas et al., 2005; White and Mattys, 2007].”
Language discrimination by newborns: Teasing apart phonotactic, rhythmic, and intonational cues (2002, positive): “We have therefore proposed that rhythm might provide part of the missing information (Ramus et al., 1999).”
Calibrating rhythm: First language and second language studies (2007, background): “Metrics for comparing the rhythm of different languages—interval measures ( Ramus, Nespor, & Mehler, 1999 ) and pairwise variability indices (Grabe & Low, 2002; Low, Grabe, & Nolan, 2000)—have been relatively successful in distinguishing languages which fall into the conventional rhythmic categories”
Rhythm and Speech Rate: A Variation Coefficient for deltaC (2006, methodology): “…The percentage of vocalic intervals (%V) and the standard deviation of consonantal intervals ( C) in a speech signal are two dimensions according to which languages of different rhythm classes (e.g. stress-timed, syllable-timed) seem to be differentiable on an acoustic level (Ramus et al., 1999).”
The role of accentual pattern in early lexical representation (2004, background): “stress-timed and syllable-timed languages, a longstanding intuitive classification for which investigators are still seeking the relevant acoustic correlates (see Grabe & Low, 2002; Ramus, Nespor, & Mehler, 1999 ).”
Language Discrimination by English-Learning 5-Month-Olds: Effects of Rhythm and Familiarity (2000, neutral): “Evidence for these rhythmic classes is reported in several recent investigations (Arvaniti, 1994; den Os, 1988; Fant, Kruckenberg, & Nord, 1991; Nazzi, 1997; Shafer, Shucard, & Jaeger, 1999; Ramus, Nespor, & Mehler, 1999 ).”
