Syllable-timed

音节合拍

A very general term used in phonetics to characterize the pronunciation of languages displaying a particular type of rhythm; it is opposed to stress-timed languages. In syllable-timed languages, the syllables are said to occur at regular intervals of time, as in French; this characteristic is sometimes referred to as isosyllabism or isosyllabicity.

语音学的一个通用术语，用来描写一类语言的发音有特殊类型的节奏；与重音合拍对立。按这种对立，音节合拍语言是音节按一定的时间间隔出现，如法语；这一特点有时称作“等音节”。
