Citazioni 

English has ‘stress-timed rhythm’: the length of time it takes to produce an utterance depends roughly on the number of stresses in it, so that unstressed syllables are sometimes squeezed together and procuded very rapidly, if there are a number of them between two successive stressed syllables.
- Hockett (1958), a pag.82
