What are the differences of rhythm in the production and perception of speech in speaking styles and languages? What are the physical manifestations and functions of rhythm in speech interaction? In this volume, seven papers by speech scientists from research fields and institutions across the world of phonetic science provide answers to these questions. The contributions give a survey of past experimental investigations, present data of recent analyses, and propose new directions for the future of rhythm research. The main focus lies on the entrainment of movement, the listener’s active role in speech perception, as well as the guiding function in speaker-listener interchange. The new data of rhythm research include analyses of production patterns in Bulgarian, English, Estonian, German, Greek and Spanish, as well as corresponding perceptual experiments and links to physiological brain rhythms. The rhythmical structuring of speech in the languages of the world is significant for phoneticians, general linguists, philologists, psychologists, speech therapists and speech technologists.
