Time and timing of language, speech rhythm

Dafydd Gibbon, 2020-12-10

Notes:

• This compilation is primarily for access and reference by interested students, colleagues and myself.

• The PDF file collection is fairly complete and I will be scanning and adding missing items in due course. Please let me know if you need an item which is not linked in PDF form.

• Some files are mirrored from other sources.

• Some files which are not available in the published layout and format are included in the submission layout and format.

• The sort order is chronological.

• No distinction is made between genres, as I see topic, domain and method as the main selection criteria.

• The topics are fairly transparent in the titles.

• My preferred mode of publication for nearly fifty years has been conference papers, since these provide almost instant dissemination and feedback, with occasional journal papers and books, including poetry and recipes. Some unpublished project reports are included.
