Speaker sp127, spontaneous speech. Once again, no statistically significant correlation can be found between vowel duration and consonant duration (r = 0.01, p = 0.93 for speaker sp180 and r = -0.29, p = 0.09 for speaker sp127). These results reveal several things. Firstly, the Central Bavarian roots of Standard Austrian German become apparent. Secondly, since the adoption of non-Bavarian combinations (especially the “long vowel + fortis plosive” combination) did not lead to isochrony, isochrony is a consequence of the combination type and rather than an indication of an underlying temporal organisation. The results point to an independent treatment of vowel and plosive durations. The logical conclusion is that the speech chain is modelled phoneme by phoneme, as has already been pointed out by many researchers (e.g. Wood 1996, 1997, Lindblom & Sussman 2002). Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, the observed temporal organisation of some vowel + plosive combinations is restricted to the sentence reading task. This might indicate that rhythmic patterning depends strongly on the speaking style (as becomes apparent anyway from a comparison of e.g. poetical recitations and spontaneous speech). 60 It should be noted that in Standard Austrian German, the “fortis” and “lenis” plosives are not differentiated according to VOT. VOT can be present in those plosives that are generally labeled as “fortis”, whereas those plosives which are labeled as “lenis” can be deleted or spirantized or articulated as approximants (but see Moosmüller & Ringen 2004 for a detailed discussion).
