Savov, D. G. Rhythm is a Super-Segment Method of Linguistic Manipulation

Abstract: In his article D. G. Savov analyzes rhythm as a super-segment method of linguistic manipulation. The author bases his proof of super-segment rhythm on the fact that it is a rhythmical grid. As its implementers, the article considers segments of different nature such as extra-linguistic, linguistic and/or para-linguistic methods which take turn in a pattern of rhythm. Such combinations have a functional nature and form different levels of rhythm: basic, additional and dominating. Integration of rhythm components at the level of methods and relevant functions creates a rhythmical grid which influences super-segment linguistic manipulation.
