The perception of rhythm in language
by Anne Cutler, Cognition, 50 (1994) 79-81
The beginning of the paper:
- The segmentation problem
The orthography of English has a very simple basis for establishing where
words in written texts begin and end: both before and also after every word are
empty spaces and this demarcation surely helps the reader comprehend. In a
spoken text, however, as presented to a hearer, such explicit segmentation cues
are rarely to be found; little pauses after every single word might make things
clearer, but the input is continuous - a running stream of sound.
