  • Summary

    This paper covers the methods for measuring rhythm and the main paradigms used to study rhythm perception. An overview of ideas about speech rhythm is provided, starting with the traditional view of isochrony and rhythm classes. Production and perception methods used to establish rhythm-class differences are presented and critically reviewed, as are a number of research practices associated with them. Recent developments leading to an alternative view of rhythm are discussed, and suggestions for pedagogical practice and future research are provided.
