Summary
The book contains a collection of papers dealing with the question of how rhythm shapes language. Until now, therewas no comprehensive theory that addressed these findings adequately. By bringing together researchers from many different fields who will all contribute to answering the question as to how rhythm shapes language, this book will make a first attempt to fill this gap.
