Abstract
A theory of stress is proposed. On the basis of a series of acoustic, pneumographic, electrophysiological, and perceptual measurements, it is hypothesized that stress is a function of greater speaking effort. The terms dynamic, melodic, quantitative accent, prominence by stress, prominence by length, prominence by intonation are considered to be misleading. The projection of greater effort on the acoustic level as well as perceptual cues of stress are studied.
