Abstract

paper is now badly out of date, but since it is still frequently cited I feel it is worth making it available in electronic form. The main point of the paper is that it is practically impossible to devise an objective test that will distinguish between "stress-timed " and "syllable-timed" languages just on the basis of measuring time intervals).
