Tomato! Welcome to the PPP Page - Home of Patep's Dissertation!!


Consonant Duration and Stress Effects on the P-Centers of English Disyllables


Here is an abstract of my dissertation for you to read before you go whole hog & download the thing.

(All of these are Postscript files because the margins need to be kept static.
Trust me. You wouldn't want your printer settings to mess with the setup.)

To print these at The University of Arizona's CCIT (please do this to save trees!!) -
Download the files to your mainframe account (not your hard drive) Then...
Unix (aruba) People:
Type the following command to print after downloading:
 prtps -duplex (filename)

Vax (vmsa) People:
Type the following command to print after downloading:
 locate ccit_io_duplex (return)
 print (filename)

I hope you have as much fun reading the diss as I had writing it. (yeah, right!)


Here are a few links that are P-center, rhythm, or speech related:

Many thanks to my mom & the UofAZ Librarians for looking up little things for this while I was in Chile!! AND if you'd like to see this document HTML-ized (instead of in PS format as it is now), please let me know & I'll get on it...

Kosh:  There is a question?
Talia: ...and these phrases that you keep speaking in, they don't make any sense.
Kosh: Ah, you seek meaning? Then listen to the music, not the song.
