That would be your cadence, or how you enunciate or emphasize certain words when speaking a sentence.
Thanks!
Cadence.
Thanks!
like a verbal cadence?
Thanks!
Cadence or intonation depending on what you mean.
Edit: This would seem to sum up the various parts of speech pretty concisely https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosody_(linguistics)
Thanks!
Edit: and that link is awesome. I'm going to dive into some fun linguistic knowledge!
Yeah, the Wikipedia linguistics hole is bottomless. If you get deep enough, it turns into math.
Even better. More things I love.
I think cadence refers only to the inflection of the pitch. A better word to describe what you seem to be talking about might be prosody.
If we're adding somewhat related concepts OP might find interesting, I've always thought these were neat: grammatically correct sentences your brain doesn't process the first time.
Garden path sentences. One of my favourite linguistic curiosities. Fat people eat accumulates. Cotton clothing is made of comes from India.
I know you've already got cadence, but isochrony is the technical aspect of that.
Iso- meaning equal chron- meaning time; makes sense. I love it when I can work out the etymology, gives me the old clever-cloggs high
It also makes it much easier to remember.

Absolutely very helpful! Gives a funny way to point out speech stuff :D
Thanks for the link!

This, or something close to it, is sometimes called cluttering: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluttering
A good example for time-to-time instances*. It means what I mean, but cadence works better for my original question
Thanks for the input. Never knew stuttering was also referred as cluttering. Neat.
*edit: though stuttering/cluttering isn't always a time-to-time thing for some people. Thanks for understanding.
OP I understand "cadence" but could you please explain what is "kerning" as I don’t think I have come across this word before.
No op, but kerning is the spacing between letters in printed text. If you just put the same space between each letter a sentence would look choppy, because stick letters like i and l would look very close together, while letters like double o would look further apart. So the spacing is adjusted to make letters appear to be the same distance apart, so it's easier on the eye.
OK got it thanks
Physical spacing between letters in type fonts
I think this is at least tangentially relayed to what you're asking:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liaison_(French)
Edit: Actually this might be the exact opposite of what you're asking...
Thats related, no worries. You're in the right place. French does liason on purpose. English too, but I wanted the word for "wrong" liasons.
Thanks for your input with liason. I forgot that word existed and now it'll be in my lexicon for... idk, more than 0 days :)
I thought that was called pulling a Christopher Walken...
Blud is sweeta than honey, kwistafa.
Drawl?
Hey that one works too! Thanks :)
Enunciation is probably the closest concept. I think it has to do with saying each phoneme clearly.
