The Geometry of Musical Rhythm What Makes a Good Rhythm Good? Second Edition

The Geometry of Musical Rhythm What Makes a Good Rhythm Good? Second Edition

The original edition of The Geometry of Musical Rhythm was the first book to provide a systematic and accessible computational geometric analysis of the musical rhythms of the world. It explained how the study of the mathematical properties of musical rhythm generates common mathematical problems that arise in a variety of seemingly disparate fields. The book also introduced the distance approach to phylogenetic analysis and illustrated its application to the study of musical rhythm. The new edition retains all of this while also adding 100 pages 93 figures 225 new references and six new chapters covering topics such as meter and metric complexity rhythmic grouping expressive timbre and timing in rhythmic performance and evolution phylogenetic analysis of ancient Greek paeonic rhythms. In addition further context is provided to give the reader a fuller and richer insight into the historical connections between music and mathematics. | The Geometry of Musical Rhythm What Makes a Good Rhythm Good?

Relevant Acoustic Phonetics of L2 English Focus on Intelligibility

Relevant Acoustic Phonetics of L2 English Focus on Intelligibility

Intelligibility is the ultimate goal of human communication. However measuring it objectively remained elusive until the 1940s when physicist Harvey Fletcher pioneered a psychoacoustic methodology for doing so. Another physicist von Bekesy demonstrated clinically that Fletcher’s theory of Critical Bands was anchored in anatomical and auditory reality. Fletcher’s and Bekesy’s approach to intelligibility has revolutionized contemporary understanding of the processes involved in encoding and decoding speech signals. Their insights are applied in this book to account for the intelligibility of the pronunciation of 67 non-native speakers from the following language backgrounds –10 Arabic 10 Japanese 10 Korean 10 Mandarin 11 Serbian and Croatian the Slavic Group 6 Somali and 10 Spanish speakers who read the Speech Accent Archive elicitation paragraph. Their pronunciation is analyzed instrumentally and compared and contrasted with that of 10 native speakers of General American English (GAE) who read the same paragraph. The data-driven intelligibility analyses proposed in this book help answer the following questions: Can L2 speakers of English whose native language lacks a segment/segments or a suprasegment/ suprasegments manage to produce it/them intelligibly? If they cannot what segments or suprasegments do they use to substitute for it/them? Do the compensatory strategies used interfere with intelligibility? The findings reported in this book are based on nearly 12 000 measured speech tokens produced by all the participants. This includes some 2 000 vowels more than 500 stop consonants over 3 000 fricatives nearly 1 200 nasals about 1 500 approximants a over 1 200 syllables onsets as many as 800 syllable codas more than 1 600 measurement of F0/pitch and duration measurements of no fewer than 539 disyllabic words. These measurements are in keeping with Baken and Orlikoff (2000:3) and in accordance with widely accepted Just Noticeable Difference thresholds and relative functional load calculations provided by Catforda (1987). | Relevant Acoustic Phonetics of L2 English Focus on Intelligibility

Parking and the City

Parking and the City

Donald Shoup brilliantly overcame the challenge of writing about parking without being boring in his iconoclastic 800-page book The High Cost of Free Parking. Easy to read and often entertaining the book showed that city parking policies subsidize cars encourage sprawl degrade urban design prohibit walkability damage the economy raise housing costs and penalize people who cannot afford or choose not to own a car. Using careful analysis and creative thinking Shoup recommended three parking reforms: (1) remove off-street parking requirements (2) charge the right prices for on-street parking and (3) spend the meter revenue to improve public services on the metered streets. Parking and the City reports on the progress that cities have made in adopting these three reforms. The successful outcomes provide convincing evidence that Shoup’s policy proposals are not theoretical and idealistic but instead are practical and realistic. The good news about our decades of bad planning for parking is that the damage we have done will be far cheaper to repair than to ignore. The 51 chapters by 46 authors in Parking and the City show how reforming our misguided and wrongheaded parking policies can do a world of good.
